there is nobody in the world who knows so many stories as ole-luk-oie, or who can relate them so nicely. in the evening, while the children are seated at the table or in their little chairs, he comes up the stairs very softly, for he walks in his socks, then he opens the doors without the slightest noise, and throws a small quantity of very fine dust in their eyes, just enough to prevent them from keeping them open, and so they do not see him. then he creeps behind them, and blows softly upon their necks, till their heads begin to droop. but ole-luk-oie does not wish to hurt them, for he is very fond of children, and only wants them to be quiet that he may relate to them pretty stories, and they never are quiet until they are in bed and asleep. as soon as they are asleep, ole-luk-oie seats himself upon the bed. he is nicely dressed; his coat is made of silken stuff; it is impossible to say of what color, for it changes from green to red, and from red to blue as he turns from side to side. under each arm he carries an umbrella; one of them, with pictures on the inside, he spreads over the good children, and then they dream the most beautiful stories the whole night. but the other umbrella has no pictures, and this he holds over the naughty children so that they sleep heavily, and wake in the morning without having dreamed at all.
now we shall hear how ole-luk-oie came every night during a whole week to the little boy named hjalmar, and what he told him. there were seven stories, as there are seven days in the week.

英语(English)属于印欧语系日耳曼语族西日耳曼语支,最早被中世纪的英国使用,并因其广阔的殖民地而成为世界使用面积最广的语言。英国人的祖先盎格鲁部落是后来迁移到大不列颠岛地区的日耳曼部落之一,称为英格兰。这两个名字都来自波罗地海半岛的Anglia。该语言与弗里斯兰语和下撒克森语密切相关,其词汇受到其他日耳曼语族语言的影响,尤其是北欧语(北日耳曼语),并在很大程度上由拉丁文和法文撰写。
