the portrait。 And it woke Hjalmar。
SUNDAY
SUNDAY
〃Good evening;〃 said Ole…Luk…Oie。
Hjalmar nodded; and then sprang out of bed; and turned his
great…grandfather's portrait to the wall; so that it might not
interrupt them as it had done yesterday。 〃Now;〃 said he; 〃you must
tell me some stories about five green peas that lived in one pod; or
of the chickseed that courted the chickweed; or of the darning needle;
who acted so proudly because she fancied herself an embroidery
needle。〃
〃You may have too much of a good thing;〃 said Ole…Luk…Oie。 〃You
know that I like best to show you something; so I will show you my
brother。 He is also called Ole…Luk…Oie but he never visits any one but
once; and when he does come; he takes him away on his horse; and tells
him stories as they ride along。 He knows only two stories。 One of
these is so wonderfully beautiful; that no one in the world can
imagine anything at all like it; but the other is just as ugly and
frightful; so that it would be impossible to describe it。〃 Then
Ole…Luk…Oie lifted Hjalmar up to the window。 〃There now; you can see
my brother; the other Ole…Luk…Oie; he is also called Death。 You
perceive he is not so bad as they represent him in picture books;
there he is a skeleton; but now his coat is embroidered with silver;
and he wears the splendid uniform of a hussar; and a mantle of black
velvet flies behind him; over the horse。 Look; how he gallops
along。〃 Hjalmar saw that as this Ole…Luk…Oie rode on; he lifted up old
and young; and carried them away on his horse。 Some he seated in front
of him; and some behind; but always inquired first; 〃How stands the
mark…book?〃
〃Good;〃 they all answered。
〃Yes; but let me see for myself;〃 he replied; and they were
obliged to give him the books。 Then all those who had 〃Very good;〃
or 〃Exceedingly good;〃 came in front of the horse; and heard the
beautiful story; while those who had 〃Middling;〃 or 〃Tolerably
good;〃 in their books; were obliged to sit behind; and listen to the
frightful tale。 They trembled and cried; and wanted to jump down
from the horse; but they could not get free; for they seemed
fastened to the seat。
〃Why; Death is a most splendid Luk…Oie;〃 said Hjalmar。 〃I am not
in the least afraid of him。〃
〃You need have no fear of him;〃 said Ole…Luk…Oie; 〃if you take
care and keep a good conduct book。〃
〃Now I call that very instructive;〃 murmured the
great…grandfather's portrait。 〃It is useful sometimes to express an
opinion;〃 so he was quite satisfied。
These are some of the doings and sayings of Ole…Luk…Oie。 I hope he
may visit you himself this evening; and relate some more。
THE END
