Împăratul iubește hainele noi
The emperor loves new clothes
Romanian
Cu mulți ani în urmă trăia un împărat atât de pasionat de hainele noi, încât își cheltuia toți banii pe ele. Nu avea altă ambiție decât să fie mereu bine îmbrăcat. Soldații nu-l interesau, iar teatrul nu-l distra. În schimb, îi plăcea să iasă cu trăsura ca să le arate tuturor încă un costum nou.
English translation
Many years ago, there lived an emperor who was so passionate about new clothes that he spent all his money on them. He had no ambition other than always to be well dressed. He was not interested in soldiers, and the theater did not entertain him. Instead, he liked to go out in his carriage to show everyone yet another new outfit.
Romanian

English translation
He had an outfit for every hour of the day. Of another king, people might have said, “He is in his study.” But of this emperor, people said, “He is in the dressing room.”
