Question

What happened when Rip Van Winkle woke up?

Answer 1

Explanation:

He finds some men drinking in the woods and, after drinking some of their wine, he falls asleep. When he wakes back up, twenty years have passed. In many ways, the story is a classic European fairy tale of a man who is actually rewarded for helping the fairies move their barrel.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rip accepts their offer of a drink of liquor and promptly falls asleep. When he awakens, 20 years later, he is an old man with a long white beard; the dwarfs are nowhere in sight.
