[originaltext] I don’t dream very often, but when I do, I always have unusua

I don’t dream very often, but when I do, I always have unusual dreams. As a matter of fact, I have an extraordinary dream last week. It was a very beautiful day and I was on a big ship. The sea was calm and quiet, the sky blue and clear, and the sun warm and bright, Suddenly, heavy clouds covered the sky. The sun disappeared; the wind began to blow; and the sea turned to gray. There was such a fierce storm that the ship almost sank. At that moment another ship appeared from out of the dense fog. It was a pirate ship with a black flag and a crew of armed pirates. The pirates jumped onto our ship and the battle began. I was assailed by three pirates at once. One pirate had a long heard; the second had a big black mustache; and the third one had a wooden leg. I had a sword in my hand and I fought bravely. All around me a violent battle raged. Soon I was wounded and lay bleeding on the deck. Then, all at once, a very beautiful girl appeared on the other ship. She gave some sharp commands and all the pirates disappeared. Their ship vanished too. It seemed to have been gulped down. Immediately the storm stopped and the sun came out again. I was dazzled. Just then I awoke and found that I was in my own bed. The sun was shining and there was a ray of light on my face. Perhaps it was that sunbeam that had changed my nightmare into a dream of adventure.
