In a small village, there lived a man named Rip Van Winkle. He was lazy & his wife pushed him to work. One day he went to the mountain, got drunk and fell asleep.

When Rip Van Winkle woke up his world completely changed. He kept walking in the village but could not recognise anyone. A young lady identified him as Rip, her father and that’s when he realised that he went into a deep slumber for 20 long years!
Rip continued to tell his story to all the passersby for the rest of his life.

Many of us are familiar with Rip Van Winkle’s story but the message still remains the same. Time & tide wait for none! Are we also in a deep slumber with our eyes wide open?
