Listen and number the pictures [1-5] in 1c.

Mei Ling：Tom, can you tell me a story from Europe?

Tom：Well, I know one. It’s called The Emperor’s New Clothes. This story is about an emperor who loved clothes. He loved buying and looking at his beautiful clothes.

Mei Ling：So what happened?

Tom：Two brothers came to the city to make special clothes for the emperor. But the emperor had to give them silk and gold.

Mei Ling：Were the clothes nice?

Tom：Well, the brothers kept everything for themselves and told the emperor that people couldn’t see the clothes unless they were clever.

Mei Ling：Oh, so they were really trying to cheat the emperor!

Tom：Yes, you are right. When the emperor looked at himself, he only saw his underwear. But he didn’t want people to think he was stupid, so he said his new clothes were very beautiful.

Mei Ling：Did he wear the new clothes?

Tom：Yes, he did. He walked through the city wearing his new clothes. Nobody wanted to sound stupid, so everyone said his new clothes were wonderful. But suddenly, a young boy shouted, “Look! The emperor isn’t wearing any clothes!”

Mei Ling：What a funny story!

梅玲：汤姆，你能给我讲一个来自欧洲的故事吗？

汤姆：好的，我知道一个。它名叫《皇帝的新装》。这个故事是关于一个特别喜欢衣服的国王。他喜欢买并且看他的漂亮衣服。

梅玲：那么发生了什么？

汤姆：两个兄弟来到这座城市为国王制作特别的衣服，但是国王得给他们丝绸和黄金。

梅玲：衣服好看吗？

汤姆：噢，这两个兄弟将所有的丝绸和黄金据为己有，并且告诉国王不聪明的人是看不到这些衣服的。

梅玲：哦，那么他们的确在试图欺骗国王！

汤姆：是的，你说得对。当国王看自己时，他只看到了他的内衣。但是他不想让人们认为他是愚蠢的，因此他说他的新衣服非常漂亮。

梅玲：他穿新衣服了吗？

汤姆：是的，他穿了。他穿着他的新衣服巡游城市。没人想让自己听起来愚蠢，因此每个人都说他的新衣服好看极了。但是突然，一个小男孩大喊：“看！国王没有穿任何衣服！”

梅玲：多有趣的一个故事！
