从前，有一位非常特别的皇帝。他既不关心国家大事，也不喜欢吃喝玩乐，唯一的爱好就是穿新衣服。
他的衣服堆积如山；他买衣服花的钱不计其数；他每个小时都要换一次衣服。每次提到他，人们总会说：“陛下在更衣室里呢。”有时候他也会乘着马车去公园，但他不是为了视察民情，而是为了向大家展示他的新衣服。还有什么事比听到人们夸奖他的新衣服更能让他开心的呢？
Once upon a time,there was an emperor.He loved nothing but new clothes.
The emperor had thousands of clothes.He changed his clothes every hour.When people spoke of him,they would say,“The emperor’s in his dressing room.”He went to the park sometimes.But that was not for public inspection.Instead,he went to show off his new clothes.
人们经常谈论这位爱漂亮的皇帝。最近，大家讨论得最多的话题是：在即将到来的、一年一度的游行大典上，皇帝会穿着多么华丽的新装呢？
一天，两个神秘的外国人来到了这个国家。他们是精明狡猾的大骗子，从来不放过任何一个可以骗钱的机会。听说皇帝的爱好后，两个骗子非常兴奋，他们准备借机好好儿地捞上一笔。
People talked a lot about the emperor.Recently,everyone had been discussing what new clothes the emperor would wear for the annual parade.
One day,two cheats came to the country.They heard about the emperor’s hobby.And they planned to earn some money from him.
