Lesson 10. The king's new clothes

1. Listen, read, and answer: Are the king's new clothes beautiful? Why?

The king's new clothes

One day, two people come to a palace1. They say they are weavers 2 and can make magic clothes. “Magic? Why?” asks the king.

1palace ['pælǝs] – дворец

2weaver ['wi:vǝ] – ткач

“Clever people can see magic clothes, but fools1 can’t,” say the weavers.

“Great! I want to know who is clever and stupid 2 in my palace,” thinks the king.

The weavers work long days and nights. Finally, the magic clothes are ready. The king puts them on and looks into the mirror.

“Oh, no! I can’t see my magic clothes! People will think I’m stupid,” he thinks. “Beautiful!” he says. The ministers3 say the clothes are the finest.

The king puts on his favourite purple gloves and walks into the city. He walks slowly with his head up. People clap their hands and shout “Hooray!”

1fool [fu:l] – глупец

2stupid ['stu:pɪd] – глупый

3minister ['mɪnɪstǝl] – министр

Suddenly 1, a little boy says, “Look! The king has got no clothes on!”

“Sorry,” says the boy’s father. “He’s a stupid boy.”

The people look at the little boy. Then, they look at the king. Then, they start talking quietly. “The boy’s right,” they say. “The king has got no clothes on.”

“Fools!” thinks the king. He keeps walking with his head up.

(after Hans Christian Andersen)

1. Красива ли новая одежда короля? Почему?

Ответ: No, the king's new clothes are not beautiful because they do not exist. The weavers tricked the king, so he is actually wearing no clothes at all.

Перевод: Нет, новая одежда короля не красива, потому что она не существует. Ткачи обманули короля, поэтому на самом деле на нем совсем нет одежды.
