The trees whisper, and you hear the clip-clop of hooves behind you. In one famous story, a rider with no head is chasing a scared schoolteacher named Ichabod Crane! This spooky tale is called \"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,\" and people have been telling it for about 200 years.  \nThat scary rider came from the mind of a writer named Washington Irving. He wrote the story long ago, in the year 1820, when the United States was still a young country. Back then, most famous books came from Europe, so people were surprised that an American could tell such a good story. Irving became one of the first American writers whom readers in Europe truly loved.  \nBecause Irving loved the land near the Hudson River, he set his tale in a small Dutch village there. The people who first lived in that village came from a country called the Netherlands, far across the ocean. In the story, they told a legend that a headless soldier rode through the woods at night looking for his lost head. Irving made the story feel real by using a real kind of place, eventhough the horseman was only make-believe.  \nDid you know that the village in the story is a real town today? It is called Sleepy Hollow, New York, and you can visit it right now. Because of the tale, the town celebrates its story every fall with pumpkins, hayrides, and the famous rider. Long ago Washington Irving wrote just a few pages, but his headless horseman still rides through people's imaginations today!  \nThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the name of the scared schoolteacher in the story?\u003Cbr>A.
