Book Review1-10

I read the book "Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". These are two stories in this book. I review the story Rip Van Winkle.
A man lived in a small town in America and his name was Rip Van Winkle. He was a farmer and had family, but he didn't like working. He liked going to the bar, so his wife was always angry with him. One day, Rip and his dog went the mountains all day. When they started to go down the mountain, he heard his name called. Then he saw an old man who had a big barrel. Rip tried to talk with him, but he said nothing. Rip helped him bring his big barrel and they went to a big building in the mountain. There Rip met another old men. They began to drink from the barrel and Rip had a drink from it, too. The old men were strange, but he was not afraid. It was late in the evening, but he stayed with the men and began to sleep. When he opened his eyes, he was under a tree and his dog wasn't there. He stared to go to his town by himself. He looked at the houses and people in the town. The houses and people were not the same. He tried to find his wife and children, they were not there. Rip walked the bar, but the bar was not the same. He tried to talk with people and then he realized he became an old man. A young woman came to him and they talked a little. He knew she was his daughter! According to her, 20years had passed since he went to the mountain and his wife was dead. And the war between America and Britain happened during his missing. Many people didn't believe his story, but one person believed him. Then the people in the town began to believe him. Rip lived with his daughter and her family. He had new friends and often talked them about the war with Britain and their new country, the United States of America!
This story is too short and not so good for me. I think this story is similar to Japanese fairy story "Urashimataro". But I can't satisfy this ending. I expected he returned to be a young man. But he just kept living as old man. It is too short to enjoy this story. I want to change another ending!
