Cesarz kocha nowe stroje
The emperor loves new clothes
Polish
Dawno temu żył cesarz, który bardzo lubił nowe ubrania. Wydawał na nie wszystkie pieniądze, bo najbardziej zależało mu na pięknym wyglądzie. Nie interesował się żołnierzami ani teatrem. Lubił za to jeździć powozem i pokazywać ludziom swoje nowe stroje.
English translation
Long ago, there lived an emperor who loved new clothes. He spent all his money on them because what mattered most to him was looking good. He wasn’t interested in soldiers or the theater. Instead, he liked riding in his carriage and showing people his new outfits.
Polish
Na każdą godzinę dnia miał inny surdut, czyli długą marynarkę. Tak często zmieniał ubrania, że ludzie mówili o nim:
– Cesarz jest w garderobie.
English translation
For every hour of the day, he had a different frock coat, a long jacket. He changed clothes so often that people would say:
“The Emperor is in his dressing room.”
