Sleepy Hollow and Rip van Winkle by Washington Irving
Pre story: Rip Van Winkle lives in a small village in North America, next to the
Catskill Mountains. He is an easygoing and gentle man, who is popular with
everyone in the village, except his wife, who always nags him (tells him to do
things). One day, he goes for a walk in the mountains with his dog. He sees a
group of strange men. They are drinking something and give him some. He
becomes very tired and so lays down to sleep. When he wakes up, his dog is gone
and everything seems different. Confused and surprised, he walks back to the
village…
When the people saw Rip, they also seemed very surprised. They all put their
hands on their chins. They did this again and again. At last Rip put his hand on his
chin, too. He had a long beard!
“I didn’t have this beard yesterday”, he thought. “What has happened to me?”
At last, Rip entered the village. Soon, there were children following him. But they
weren’t the village children that he knew. They pointed with their hands at his
long gray beard, and they laughed at him. As he walked through the village, dogs
barked at him. He did not know any of the dogs.
The village seemed to have changed. It was bigger than it had been the day
before. There were more houses and more people. Strangers’ names were
written above the doors of the houses, and strangers’ faces looked out of the
windows.
But the Catskill Mountains were still the same. And the Hudson River was still
shining in the sun.
Rip was becoming more and more puzzled. “I’ve been away from this village for
one day”, he said to himself. “But everything here looks different. What was in
that strange drink last night? It has done something terrible to my
mind. I’ve gone crazy”.
Rip walked slowly to his own house. He was listening for the loud angry voice of
his wife. But his house had changed, too. Nobody was living there. The roof had
fallen and the doors and the windows were broken. A thin old dog was looking
for food in the road outside the house.
“Can that old dog be Wolf?” thought Rip.
He called Wolf’s name, but the dog did not come to him. It growled for a moment
and then walked away.
“My own dog has forgotten me”, thought Rip sadly.
He went inside the house. All the rooms were empty …
