Scene 1 · Beginner
For mange år siden levde det en keiser som elsket nye klær. Han brukte alle pengene sine på klær og likte å kjøre ut i vognen sin og vise dem frem. Soldatene og teateret interesserte ham lite.
Many years ago, there lived an emperor who loved new clothes. He spent all his money on clothes and liked to go out in his carriage and show them off. He had little interest in his soldiers or the theater.
Han hadde en frakk for hver time på dagen, så når folk lette etter ham, sa de ofte: «Keiseren er på rommet sitt og skifter klær.»
He had a coat for every hour of the day, so when people looked for him, they often said, “The emperor is in his room changing clothes.”
