Rip lived in a big but neglected farm with his wife, his children and his dog Wolf.]]> 2021-09-07 03:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720758573 odyseoxxi https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720772271 Despite being so good with others, Rip Van Wrinke was a terrible husband, father, and farmer. He was always careless towards himself and his family, choosing to help others first before helping himself.]]> 2021-09-07 04:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720772271 odyseoxxi https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720785650 For being so careless he won the terrible scoldings from his wife Dame Van Wrinkle, who constantly remembered him how lazy, careless and useless he was in a daily basis.

To escape from the tongue of his wife, Rip Van Wrinkle used to wander around the town, helping those who would need him to make their errands, playing with the children and teaching them how to play games and craft toys, etc.

Despite being loved for all the townsfolk Rip could never satisfy his angry wife as he never changed and was just so careless and submissive that his house could crumble over his head and he wouldn't notice.]]> 2021-09-07 04:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720785650 odyseoxxi https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720787543 The reason why he didn't bother to make a living from his farm was because his bad luck and negativism, he said that his farm was in the worst soil in all the land.

Another activity he liked to do to escape his family was going often to a new inn of other idle people like him to discuss philosophy, gossip, history and other releventat or irrelevant topics.

It was not long before his wife tracked him down to the inn and him and everyone else got scolded by the daring tongue of Dame Van Wrinkle. Desperate to find some quit and peace he went to hunt into the forest with his gun and his dog "Wolf" in order to escape again from his angry wife and responsabilities.]]> 2021-09-07 04:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720787543 odyseoxxi https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720815588 Once in the mountains he adventured too far from the town while hunting some squirrels, he found a nice green knoll of leaves and rested there while watching the beautiful panorama.

Without knowing he fell sleep and awake late in the evening, worried that his wife would scold him for being out for so long he was about to return home when he suddenly heard someone yelling his name "RIP VAN WRINKLE!"

His dog got scared like a small kitty and hid behind his master, he approached to the person and it was a short, old person with a long beard asking Rip to help him with carrying a Keg of (Ale probably) and as he could never refuse helping others he decided to help this short man and carried the keg all the way through the mountain to an amphitheatre.

He joined them and started drinking (Ale probably) with the dwarves until he lost consciousness.

After that he suddenly woke up again in the knoll and he thought that everything was a dream, when he tried to stand up he felt pain in his articulations and when he looked for his gun it was replaced by an old and extremely rusty flintlock, he thought that the dwarves probably stole his gun when he got drunk so he began to look for his dog and called him but Wolf was nowhere in the mountain.

He tried to find the amphitheatre where he got drunk with the dwarves again but it was replaced by just a bunch of rocks, then he finally decided to go down of the mountain and return to the town without his dog.

For his surprise the town was turned into a lively city with lots of new and clean buildings, he got quickly confused about it, he saw many new faces but not a single acquaintance, worried he went to search for his house and for his surprise all he found was some abandoned ruins of what once what his house and an extremely negletected, old and starving dog that growled at him before dying, he was shocked by the fact that not even his dog recognized him and that he was now old and with a long gray beard.]]> 2021-09-07 04:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720840946 odyseoxxi https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720861927 After rambling around the city he saw many symbols and things he didn't understand like the USA flag, and a General George Washington portrait and some old newspapers about independence, free election, human rights, between other nonsense news.

He finally arrived at where the inn was and it was now replaced by the parliament, he entered there and saw many people discussing nonsense about rights and laws and a person that looked very important and when everyone saw the old dude with a rusty gun on his back they got surprised and asked why he was carrying a gun into a free place and who was going to support this old man, he quickly answered that he was a loyal servant of the old king of England and a military that was there yelled that he was a conservationist and a spy.

Quickly they considered the old Rip to be a dangerous person who was with the enemy british empire but the man with the suit approached him and asked who he was, he answered that he didn't know, that he was somewhere else yesterday and that he is now another person today, a kind woman with her children approached old Rip Van Wrinkle and kind of recognized him.

Rip recognized that the woman was his daugther and that the child she was carrying was his grandson, he asked to her who were their parents and for the fate of Dame Van Wrinkle (who probably died from an aneurysm) after that he started crying and revealed that he was Rip Van Wrinkle and he also mourned the death of many of his old friends. For a momment people couldn't believe but his daugther was sure he was her father.

He was tasked by the new governors to write his history and tell others how time has changed some much, he also returned to his old customs but this time without reprimands from Dame Van Wrinkle as old folk were allowed to do whatever they wanted in their last years of life, which he spended happily playing with children, gossiping and telling his story to all the people who would visit the new city.]]> 2021-09-07 04:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/odyseoxxi/gelhmjg1xgj7czx6/wish/1720880625
