What important fact about rip van winkle comes to light in this excerpt from irving's story?
"the great error in rip’s composition was an insuperable aversion to all kinds of profitable labor. it could not be for want of assiduity or perseverance; for he would sit on a wet rock, with a rod as long and heavy as a tartar’s lance, and fish all day without a murmur, even though he should not be encouraged by a single nibble. he would carry a fowling-piece on his shoulder, for hours together, trudging through woods and swamps, and up hill and down dale, to shoot a few squirrels or wild pigeons. he would never refuse to assist a neighbor even in the roughest toil, and was a foremost man in all country frolics for husking corn, or building stone fences; the women of the village, too, used to employ him to run their errands, and to do such little odd jobs as their less obliging husbands would not do for them. in a word, rip was ready to attend to anybody’s business but his own; but as to doing family duty, and keeping his farm in order, he found it impossible."
