- I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ole-Lukoie.
The ancients used to call me the God of Dreams.
But judge for yourself... do I really look like a god?
But I have no doubt that all of you are very good, obedient, not bullies or sluggards,
so I'll tell you a wonderful fairy tale.
Listen and watch.

And the fields... will be left with only dust!
