こんな恐い夢を見ちゃいました。登場人物が全員フランス人だったみたいなので、本当は全文フランス語で訳出したかったのですが、英語でご容赦ください。
どうして最近、この手の恐ろしい夢ばかり見るのか、不思議です。
Several students were sitting around the table put in the center of a dusty and gloomy room. They were just chatting without food or drink. --- Do you know they built a new factory near here ?, said Jeanne. --- What kind of factory ?, asked Antoine. --- Are you serious ? Didn't you know that ?, answered Jeanne. --- No..., said Antoine. --- It's a factory making cosmetics, said Cristophe. --- And what ?, said Antoine, apparently disappointed with the triviality of the topic. --- They say the factory is making cosmetics containing cyanide, articulated George. --- Cy...?, Antoine couldn't continue his words. --- Comsmetics containing c y a n i c a c i d, said Jeanne. --- I can't believe it, said Antoine. --- Voila!, Jeanne took out a bottle from under the table. It was filled with bluish water. --- What's that ?, asked Antoine. --- A sample of skin lotion made in the factory, answered Jeanne. --- How did you get the stuff?, asked Cristophe. --- They were distributing various bottles in front of the main gate, said Jeanne. --- How about testing its taste ?

No sooner had Antoine said so than Jeanne quickly opened the bottle. --- Stop! stop it! said Cristophe & George laughing out loud. --- I'm sure I can get heavenly intoxicated with a tiny cup of Wonder Magic Lotion, frolicked Jeanne. --- A votre sante! Cristophe & George raised an invisible cup. --- A la votre! Jeanne take a sip of the skin lotion. Jeanne suddenly collapsed there with the bottle in her hand, turing up the whites of the eyes. --- Jeanne! cried Antoine. --- Here I've resurrected! Jeanne seemed to imitate a charming zombie. --- Carrying the joke too far... Antoine murmured, burying his head in his hands. The next moment, Jeanne vomited all she had eaten with dark red blood and after falling into a fit of convulsions with her whole body, she got silent for good...
