Sleepy Hollow

 My wife and I were at my brother’s home and visited the Sleepy Hollow and refreshed the story by Washington Irving, “The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow”.  The story began with the haunted Sleepy Hollow, and the headless horseman who as the story said that the horseman would rise up from his grave in the cemetery and would ride his horse in search of his head.  In the village, came with a lanky schoolmaster from Connecticut, named Ichabod Crane.  Crane was very superstitious, and would love to listen to ghost stories by the Dutch women in the village as Village Dutch women would love to befriend with Crane.  In the village, there was a beautiful and rich woman, named Katrina van Tassel, to whom Crane wanted to earn her hands.  Yet, Katrina had another suitor, a local hero, named Abraham van Brunt. Both Ichabod and Abraham were invited to a harvest party hosted by father of Katrina.  In the party, Abraham told Ichabod another ghost story.  Ichabod planned to propose to Katrina but did not succeed.  Feeling depressed, Ichabod rode his very temperamental horse called the gunpowder home.  On the pitch dark night, and on an intersection, came with the headless horseman who threw things at Ichabod.  Ichabod fell from the horse, and the next morning, Ichabod and his horse gunpowder disappeared from the village.  All they could find are the broken pumpkins, Ichabod’s discarded hat, and the trampled saddle of Gunpowder.  Now, it is up to your imagination on what was really happened on that night.
