Ole Luk-Oie was the Dream God who knew many stories. He loved giving stories to children while they slept. He did this with two umbrellas. One umbrella had lots of beautiful pictures, and it gave the good children lots of beautiful dreams. The other umbrella had no picture, and this was used for the naughty children. It gave them no dreams at all.

夢神奧列·路卻埃知道很多故事，他喜歡趁著孩子們睡覺時給他們講故事。他有兩把傘，一把傘上繪著無數美麗的圖畫，能給那些好孩子送去許多美夢；另一把傘上卻什么也沒有，這是給淘氣的孩子準備的，它不會給這些孩子送去任何美夢！

Ole Luk-Oie gave seven stories to a boy named Hjalmar for seven nights a week.

On Monday, Ole Luk-Oie made Hjalmar’s room look like a greenhouse with lots of plants and colourful flowers. He also trained the letters in Hjalmar’s exercise book to stand neatly.

The next morning, Hjalmar rewrote the letters in his exercise book carefully.

在一周的七個夜晚里，奧列·路卻埃給一個叫哈爾馬的男孩講了七個故事。

周一，奧列·路卻埃把哈爾馬的房間變得像花房一樣，里面長滿了植物和五顏六色的花兒。他還訓練哈爾馬練習本上的那些字母，讓它們排列整齊。于是在第二天早晨，哈爾馬把練習本上的字母認認真真地重寫了一遍。

On Tuesday, Ole Luk-Oie made a picture on Hjalmar’s wall come to life! It was a boat sailing on the ocean, and Hjalmar sailed it all night!

哈爾馬房間的墻上有一幅畫，周二，奧列·路卻埃讓這幅畫有了生命。畫里有一艘正在大海中航行的船，哈爾馬駕駛著這艘船，航行了一整夜。

On Wednesday, it was raining outside. Ole Luk-Oie and Hjalmar sailed all around the town in their boat. They met a flock of ducks and saved some chickens.

周三是個雨天，奧列·路卻埃和哈爾馬駕駛著船在鎮上四處航行。他們遇見了一群鴨子，還救起了幾只雞。

On Thursday, they went to a mouse’s wedding! Hjalmar dressed up as a tin soldier. They danced with beautiful lady mice and ate lots of peas.

周四，他們去參加一只老鼠的婚禮！哈爾馬把自己打扮成錫兵的樣子。他們和漂亮的老鼠小姐們跳舞，還吃了很多豌豆。

On Friday, they went to another wedding. This was the wedding of the dolls of Hjalmar’s sister. All the furniture came along! They sang merry tunes and were all so happy.

周五，他們去參加另一場婚禮，這是哈爾馬妹妹的布娃娃的婚禮，家具們也都來了！他們唱著歡快的歌，度過了快樂的時光。

On Saturday, Ole Luk-Oie opened his umbrella with pictures over Hjalmar. The umbrella looked like a beautiful China bowl,and Hjalmar saw willow trees and an arch bridge on it.

周六，奧列·路卻埃把繪著很多圖畫的那把傘在哈爾馬的頭頂上撐開，展開的傘看起來像是一個漂亮的中國大碗，哈爾馬還能看到傘上面的垂柳和拱橋。

Ole Luk-Oie also said that they had to make all the world clean, as the next day would be Sunday, which is a holiday! So they took down stars from the sky and cleaned them.

奧列·路卻埃還說，明天就是星期日，是休假的日子，所以他們得把整個世界打掃干凈。于是他們把天上的星星摘下來，清洗了一遍。

On Sunday, Ole Luk-Oie told Hjalmar about his brother—the Death God. He only came to everyone once, and he told you the most beautiful story, or one of great terror, depending on how you lived.

周日，奧列·路卻埃給哈爾馬講了他哥哥“死神”的故事。死神只會到每個人這里來一次，他會講兩個故事—最美麗動人的故事和最恐怖的故事。至于到底講哪個故事，就要看你怎樣度過自己的一生啦。

Ole Luk-Oie said to Hjalmar, “If you are good,you will have a beautiful story. If you are bad,there will be a lot to fear.” Then Ole Luk-Oie went away. Before he left, he told Hjalmar that he would always lead a good life.

奧列·路卻埃對哈爾馬說：“如果你一生良善，就會聽到一個美麗的故事；如果你壞事做盡，就會迎來無盡的恐懼。”奧列·路卻埃說完便離開了。在離開前，他告訴哈爾馬，哈爾馬的一生都會是美好幸福的。
