A.Read the following and answer:

The appearance of Rip, with his long beard and peculiar dress, soon attracted the attention of people.Rip told them that he meant no harm, but merely came there to

look for his friends and folks. He asked about Nicholas Vedder.There was silence for a little while.Then an old man replied, "Nicholas Vedder? Why, he is dead and

gone for these eighteen years!" Rip's heart died away, at finding himself thus alone in the world.He cried out, "Does nobody here know Rip Van Winkle?""Oh, there

he is, leaning against the tree," exclaimed two or three. As he looked, Rip saw a fellow who looked exactly like his previous self.He understood that this was his son,

Rip! Just then, a young woman with a child came his way. She said that Rip Van Winkle had been her father, and had gone away twenty years back when she was little.

All stood amazed. An old woman looked at his face and exclaimed, "Sure enough! It is Rip Van Winkle! Welcome home again, old neighbor. Why, where have you been

these twenty long years?" Soon everybody came to know Rip's story, for the whole twenty years had been to him but as one night.Some had doubts, and insisted that

Rip had been out of his head.Even to this day, a thunder-storm on a summer afternoon at Kaatskill reminds them of the strange people playing at a game of ninepins.
