Testo originale a fronte. La storia di Rip van Winkle è ambientata immediatamente prima (intorno al 1770) e dopo la rivoluzione americana (intorno al 1790). Rip van Winkle, un abitante di origine olandese, vive in un bel villaggio ai piedi delle Catskill Mountains di New York. Essendo affabile, è amato da tutti tranne che dalla moglie. Infatti, oltre ad essere affabile, è anche pigro e così trascura la sua casa e la sua fattoria. Un giorno d'autunno, scappa dai continui rimproveri della moglie, fuggendo sulle montagne. Dopo aver incontrato degli uomini vestiti in maniera strana - che si dice siano i fantasmi dell'equipaggio di Henry Hudson, che giocano a nine-pins, e dopo aver bevuto dei loro superalcolici - si siede a terra sotto un albero ombroso, addormentandosi profondamente. Dopo vent'anni, Rip si sveglia e ritorna nel suo villaggio, inconsapevole di quanto abbia dormito. Giunto a casa, scopre che la moglie è morta e che i suoi amici più vicini sono morti in guerra o partiti via dal paese...
