Some of the best Washington Irving short stories include 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' and 'Rip Van Winkle'. 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' is famous for its spooky atmosphere and the character of Ichabod Crane. 'Rip Van Winkle' tells the story of a man who sleeps for 20 years and wakes up to a very different world.

One of the best is 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. This story is set in a small Dutch settlement in New York. Ichabod Crane, a superstitious schoolteacher, has his encounter with the Headless Horseman. It's a story rich in local folklore and Irving's vivid descriptions bring the setting and characters to life. 'Rip Van Winkle' is also excellent. It shows how a man's long sleep can make him a stranger in his own village, and it gives an interesting view of how society can change over time.

Love in very short pieces

 We always think that if we could go back to the past, had our time again, we could make the difference and control our destiny.  But you have to believe that all meetings and departures have their own reasons.   As the long years pass, we finally get used to no longer having each other, living alone in our own worlds, no longer yearning so much, and no longer feeling so many regrets.  If one day, we meet again at a corner of the city, will we still recognize each other, the person we once loved so deeply at first sight? No one knows. We always think that if lord gives us another chance, allowing us to go back to the past, to start over, we can correct our mistakes, control our fate, and have our time again, not realizing that in the myriad of timelines, we may have already reached a fork of the destiny, we have been losing each other. Everything that will happen, will happen eventually. So let's move forward, because that's our life.
