👑🧵 The Emperor’s New Clothes
📜 Script
NARRATOR:
Once upon a time, there was an emperor who loved clothes.
He wore new outfits every day—red robes, golden hats, and shiny shoes!
One day, two tailors came to the castle.
🧵 TAILOR 1:
“We make magic clothes!
Only smart people can see them!”
NARRATOR:
The emperor was excited.
He gave them gold to start sewing.
The tailors set up looms… but made nothing.
They only pretended to work!
NARRATOR:
Ministers came to check.
They saw nothing—but were afraid to look “stupid.”
👨 MINISTER (thinking):
“I must say it’s beautiful…”
NARRATOR:
Soon, the tailors “finished” the clothes.
They held out empty hands.
🧵 TAILOR 2:
“Here they are! So light and fine!”
NARRATOR:
The emperor saw nothing…
but didn’t want to look foolish.
👑 EMPEROR (nervous):
“Yes! Wonderful!”
He took off his clothes and “put on” the new ones.
NARRATOR:
He walked through the city.
People clapped—but no one saw anything!
Then one small child shouted:
👦 CHILD:
“He’s not wearing anything!”
NARRATOR (ending):
Everyone went quiet.
Then they laughed and laughed!
Even the emperor blushed.
