O imperador adora roupas novas

The emperor loves new clothes

Portuguese

Há muitos anos, vivia um imperador que adorava roupas novas. Gastava todo o seu dinheiro com elas e só queria estar sempre bem-vestido. Não se interessava pelos soldados nem pelo teatro. Gostava mesmo era de sair em sua carruagem para mostrar uma roupa nova.

English translation

Many years ago, there lived an emperor who loved new clothes. He spent all his money on them and only wanted to be well-dressed all the time. He was not interested in soldiers or the theater. What he really liked was riding out in his carriage to show off a new outfit.

Portuguese

Ele tinha um casaco para cada hora do dia. Passava tanto tempo escolhendo roupas que as pessoas costumavam dizer: “O imperador está em seu quarto de vestir”.

English translation

He had a coat for every hour of the day. He spent so much time choosing clothes that people often said, “The emperor is in his dressing room.”
