Once upon a time there was a very vain emperor.
Der var engang en meget forfængelig kejser.
He loved to dress in elegant clothes.
Han elskede at klæde sig i elegant tøj.
Two swindlers came to the city.
To svindlere kom til byen.
They said they could weave a magical fabric.
De sagde, at de kunne væve et magisk stof.
This cloth was invisible to fools.
Dette stof var usynligt for tåber.
The emperor gave them a lot of money.
Kejseren gav dem mange penge.
The swindlers pretended to work day and night.
Svindlerne lod som om de arbejdede dag og nat.
The emperor sent his ministers to see the progress.
Kejseren sendte sine ministre for at se fremskridtet.
None of them could see the fabric.
Ingen af dem kunne se stoffet.
But they pretended they could, so they wouldn’t look foolish.
Men de lod som om de kunne, for ikke at virke tåbelige.
The emperor also went to see the cloth.
Kejseren gik også for at se stoffet.
Though he saw nothing, he pretended to admire it.
Selvom han ikke så noget, lod han som om han beundrede det.
He ordered a suit to be made from that cloth.
Han beordrede, at der skulle laves en dragt af det stof.
On the day of the parade, the emperor put on his new suit.
På dagen for paraden tog kejseren sin nye dragt på.
He marched through the streets in front of his people.
Han marcherede gennem gaderne foran sit folk.
Everyone pretended to see the clothes to avoid seeming foolish.
Alle lod som om de så tøjet for ikke at virke tåbelige.
A child shouted: The emperor isn’t wearing anything!
Et barn råbte: Kejseren har ikke noget på!
The people began to laugh.
Folk begyndte at le.
The emperor realized the truth.
Kejseren indså sandheden.
But he kept walking proudly.
Men han fortsatte med at gå stolt.
