engadir

EN The foregoing Tale, one would suspect, had been suggested to Mr. Knickerbocker by a little German superstition about the Emperor Frederick der Rothbart, and the Kyffhauser mountain: the subjoined note, however, which he had appended to the tale, shows that it is an absolute fact, narrated with his usual fidelity: "The story of Rip Van Winkle may seem incredible to many, but nevertheless I give it my full belief, for I know the vicinity of our old Dutch settlements to have been very subject to marvellous events and appearances".
GL Como moitos sospeitarán, este relato foille suxerido ó señor Knickerbocker por unha superstición sobre Carlos V de Alemaña e a montaña Kypphauser; sen embargo, a nota adxunta que el engadira ó relato, demostra que é un feito absolutamente verídico, narrado coa súa fidelidade habitual: "A historia de Rip Van Winkle pode resultar, para moitos, incrible; pero aínda así eu doulle un crédito total, xa que sei que a rexión dos nosos antigos colonos holandeses foi o escenario dalgúns sucesos e aparicións fantásticas".
