Act 1 Scene 1
Narrator: Once upon a time, there was an emperor who loved clothes more than anything else. He had so many suits that he could change his outfit every day.
Emperor: (Proudly) Look at my new suit! Isn't it magnificent?
First Minister: Oh yes, Your Majesty! It is truly splendid!
Second Minister: Indeed, Your Majesty! A masterpiece indeed!
Narrator: One day, two swindlers came to the city claiming they were weavers. They promised to make the finest cloth in the world.
Swindler 1: We will weave a fabric that is invisible to anyone who is unfit for their position or hopelessly stupid.
Swindler 2: Only those who are worthy can see it.
Emperor: (Excited) I want such a suit! Whoever can make it will be rewarded handsomely.
Act 1 Scene 2
Narrator: The swindlers set up looms and pretended to work hard, although there was nothing on the looms.
Emperor: (Looking worried) But... what if no one can see this magical cloth?
First Minister: Fear not, Your Majesty! You are wise and noble. You will certainly be able to see it.
Second Minister: And all your subjects will admire your discerning eye.
Narrator: When the tailor showed the "cloth" to the emperor, he saw nothing but air. But he didn't want to admit it.
Emperor: (Nervously) It is... exquisite! I can hardly wait to wear it!
Act 2 Scene 1
Narrator: Finally, the day of the grand parade arrived. The emperor put on the "new clothes."
Emperor: (Confidently) Parade begins!
Narrator: As the emperor walked through the streets, everyone admired him.
Citizen 1: Look at the emperor's new clothes! So beautiful!
Citizen 2: Yes, they fit him perfectly!
Child: (Whispering to parent) But I don't see any clothes!
Parent: (Quickly covering child's mouth) Hush! Don't say such things!
Narrator: The emperor felt uneasy but continued the parade.
Emperor: (To himself) Am I really naked? No, surely these people can see something...
Narrator: In the end, the truth came out when a child innocently shouted:
Child: (Loudly) But he has nothing on!
Everyone gasped. The emperor trembled, realizing the truth.
Narrator: From that day on, the emperor learned a valuable lesson about vanity and honesty.
