Scene 1 · Intermediate

A császár rajong az új ruhákért

The emperor loves new clothes

Hungarian

Réges-régen élt egy császár, aki annyira rajongott az új ruhákért, hogy minden pénzét rájuk költötte. Egyetlen dologra vágyott: arra, hogy mindig elegánsan öltözzön. A katonáival alig törődött, és a színház sem érdekelte. Kocsikázni is leginkább azért szeretett, mert ilyenkor megmutathatta a legújabb öltözékét.

English translation

Long ago, there lived an Emperor who was so fond of new clothes that he spent all his money on them. He wanted only one thing: to always dress elegantly. He paid little attention to his soldiers, and he was not interested in the theater. He liked riding in his carriage mostly because it gave him a chance to show off his latest outfit.

Hungarian

A nap minden órájában más kabátot viselt. Más uralkodóról talán azt mondták volna, hogy a dolgozószobájában van, róla azonban így beszéltek: „A császár az öltözőszobájában van.”

English translation

He wore a different coat every hour of the day. If it had been another ruler, people might have said he was in his study, but about him they said, “The Emperor is in his dressing room.”
