EN The tale was told of old Brouwer, a most heretical disbeliever in ghosts, how he met the horseman returning from his foray into Sleepy Hollow, and was obliged to get up behind him; how they galloped over bush and brake, over hill and swamp, until they reached the bridge; when the horseman suddenly turned into a skeleton, threw old Brouwer into the brook, and sprang away over the tree-tops with a clap of thunder.
GL Contouse a historia do vello Brouwer, un dos maiores escépticos no que a fantasmas se refire, e de cómo se cruzou co xinete cando volvía de Sleepy Hollow, cómo se viu obrigado a seguilo, cómo cabalgaron entre arbustos e fentos, e por outeiros e pantanos, ata que chegaron á ponte, onde o xinete se transformou nun esqueleto, tirou a Brouwer ó arroio e saíu voando por riba das árbores facendo máis ruído ca un trono.
