De Nieuwe Kleren Van De Keizer (The Emperor's New Clothes)
StoryThere once was an emperor who was so vain he spent more time trying on clothes than ruling his people.
He spent the whole day standing in front of a mirror, wondering what to try on next. His old dresser would run back and forth with jackets and stockings but the emperor was never satisfied. Until two tailors made him a very special costume... Come and see it for yourself! |
