Liars A and B: See Your Majesty! (Salute)

Emperor: Do you have any special skills?

Liar A: We come from the far east and serve your majesty.

Liar B: We can weave the most beautiful cloth that human beings can think of.

Liar A: This kind of cloth is not only beautiful in color and pattern, but also has a strange feature in the sewn clothes.

Liar B: Anyone who is incompetent or hopelessly stupid can't see this dress.

Emperor: That's an ideal dress! If I have such clothes, I can see who is stupid and who is incompetent. Somebody please. Give them a lot of gold and let them do it at once!

Ministers and officials: Yes! (Everyone exits, and the emperor goes back to the dressing room to continue the fitting. )

The second field

(Two swindlers came on stage and came to the loom to do knitting. The old minister came to power)

Minister: Huh? (Surprised, holding up his glasses) Why didn't I see anything?

Liar A: Oh, here comes the old minister! Please come in! Please, please. Please come closer and look carefully.

Liar B: Is this design nice? Is this color nice?

Minister: Oh, my God! Am I stupid? Am I incompetent? I must never let anyone know about it!

Liar A: Hey! Are you satisfied?

Minister: Satisfied, very satisfied!

Liar B: You have no opinion at all?

Minister: No, no. I must report to the emperor! I am very satisfied with this kind of fabric. (Minister)

Liars A and B: We are very happy! You always walk slowly! (official)

Officer: Huh? (Surprised, open your mouth and rub your eyes) I'm not stupid. Maybe I don't deserve my present position! This is really funny! I can't let anyone see this!

Liar A: Do you think this cloth looks good?

Police officer: Beautiful! Beautiful! How beautiful!

Liar B: Are you satisfied?

Officer: Satisfied! Satisfied! I am so satisfied! I must report to the emperor truthfully.

Liars A and B: Thank you! At the order of the official, the two swindlers continued to knit, cut and sew.

Emperor: (out of the dressing room and back to the chair) Xuan!

Minister: See Your Majesty!

Emperor: What about the new clothes?

Minister: It's almost finished!

Officer: Very beautiful, very beautiful!

Minister: it would be great if your majesty could wear it to the military parade and open everyone's eyes!

Official: People all over the world should be full of praise!

Emperor: Well, good! Great!

Attendant: The tailor is here to see you!

Emperor: Xuan! (Two swindlers with clothes in their hands, go up)

Liars A and B: See Your Majesty! The clothes are ready, please have a look.

Liar A: These are pants.

Liar B: This is a robe.

Cheater A: This is a coat.

Liar B: These clothes are soft, like cobwebs.

Liar A: People who wear it will feel as if they are wearing nothing.

Liar B: That's the advantage of these clothes.

Emperor: What's wrong? Why can't I see anything? Am I a fool? Am I not qualified to be emperor? This is terrible!

Minister: Your Majesty, do you think this cloth is gorgeous?

Officer: Look, what a beautiful pattern! What a beautiful color!

Emperor: I am extremely satisfied. I will make you royal weavers, and I will reward you!

Liar A: Thank you, Your Majesty. (exit)

Minister: Your Majesty, get dressed!

Emperor: Good! All right! People take off their coats in front of the mirror and put on "new clothes" for the emperor.

Attendant: The parade begins now!

(Officials with knives in front, ministers with canopies in the back, attendants with "back skirts" in the back, walking slowly around the field)

(Audience A and B, children on the stage)

Audience A: Honey, the emperor's new clothes are really beautiful!

Audience B: Look! How beautiful his back skirt is!

Child: Hey! He's wearing nothing!

Audience A: Oh, my God! Listen to this naive voice. A child said he was naked!

Audience B: He is really naked!

Emperor: (trembling with fear) I must finish this parade! (Put on a proud look, end)
