Ichabod crane lived in sleepy hollow, for the purpose of instructing the children of the vicinity. he was tall, but exceedingly lank, with narrow shoulders, long arms and legs, hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves, feet that might have served for shovels, and his whole frame most loosely hung together. his head was small, and flat at top, with huge ears, large green glassy eyes, and a long snipe nose. to see him striding along the profile of a hill on a windy day, with his clothes bagging and fluttering about him, one might have mistaken him for the spirit of famine descending upon the earth or some scarecrow eloped from a cornfield. adapted from washington irving,
