推荐旁白：
Long ago and far away,
there lived an Emperor. This Emperor was very vain
and could think about nothing
but his
clothes. He had wardrobes and cupboards full of
clothes. He just changed his clothes from time to
time.
News of the Emperor spread to
distant kingdoms and finally came to the ears of
two very shady characters.
第一场
骗子甲：
Could we ? Could we fool
the Emperor who loves new clothes ?
（
they asked
themselves.
）
骗子乙：
Let's try,

They left their homes and
travelled to the Emperor's city and applied to

We have invented a
new cloth by using a very special and secret
method.
大臣进屋告诉皇帝
(
耳语）。
皇帝：
Something magical?
（在镜子前试衣服）
Oh, I love new
things, Show the two weavers in.
大臣出屋：
Come on in.
皇帝：
so why you say your cloth
are magical?
骗子甲：
oh your is
gold,silver and rainbow coloured, all at the same
time,
骗子乙：
It feels like
silk, but is as warm as wool,
骗子甲
: It is as light as air,
a most wonderful fabric.
皇帝：
There is a grand parade
in the city in two weeks time, I need a new outfit
for it. Can one be ready in time?
骗子甲：
Oh yes, your
Majesty
。
But there is a
problem. The cloth is very expensive to make.
皇帝：
No matter,
（
挥挥手）
Money is no
objest. I must have an outfit. Just see the
Chamberlain and he'll sort it out. Make
it here in the palace.
（大臣把两骗子领到织布机旁，骗子作出衣的样子）
第二场：
旁白：
Several days passed.
皇帝：
Chamberlain, go to the
weavers and see how the cloth is processing. The
parade is only a week way.
大臣：
Liege
（大臣去敲门，在外面等了一下）
骗子甲：
Enter!
（非常兴奋）
大臣：
The Emperor has sent me
to check on the progress of the
cloth,
（
很奇怪的盯着织布机）
骗子甲：
Is it not beautiful? See
the lustre, feel the softness!
骗子乙：
Oh wise Chamberlain
，
Now you can see why it is
magical. Only the truly clever and brilliant can
see the cloth.
Most people would see an
empty loom, but a clever man like you will see our
wonderful cloth.

Um,

不知道该说什么
）

unquartifited? I would not let others know it!
