I. Rip was a kind fellow, but he was very lazy. He never felt like working on his farm, though he would willingly help his neighbours. This couldn't help but annoy his wife. "1 must draw the line somewhere. He's becoming unbearable," she kept repeating to herself. 2. Though Rip never argued with her, he felt his patience was running out. It annoyed him when she did not let him go his own way. 3. "I wish I could go to the mountains and rest up there for a while (time). I am certainly running the risk of being severely scolded, but I don'tcare," thought Rip. He was so carried away by the idea that he forgot all about his worries (troubles) for a while. He was looking forward to seeing his dream come true. 4. That morning Rip woke up very early. The sun had not yet risen. Rip slipped out of the house, took his rifle, called his dog and started off (set out). For about a mile the path ran through a rye-field, and then turned to the left up into the mountains. As the sun rose higher and higher, everything seemed to become alive. Rip enjoyed his freedom, trying to make the most of it. 5. Rip was climbing up a slope when he heard somebody call (calling) him. He turned round and saw a strange little man with a keg of wine on his shoulders. He was making signs to Rip that he should stop and help him with his load. A cold shiver ran down Rip's spine. "I shouldn't have come up into the mountains alone." He remembered one of the villagers telling him, "This year strange things have been happening in the mountains. If I were you I'd never go up there alone..." Rip was terribly frightened. However, when he caught the strange man's eye, his fear gave way to curiosity.
