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!
