Olle Lukoye

My favourite magician is Olle Lukoye

from stories by Hans Christian Andersen.

He is a little man in a black hat

 and boots with the big shoe buckles. 

He has two umbrellas. 

Olle puts up the black umbrella

above bad children. 

Afterwards, they cannot see nice dreams.

Olle puts up the coloured umbrella

above good children,

Afterwards, they see fine dreams.

In Russia, there are many unhappy children

without their own houses.

Dear Olle! Come here, please!

Try to make happy childhoods for them 

And take me, please, to be your assistant!
