De keisers ny kleeden
Befor mucke yaaren, livde een keiser welk denkte so muk av ny kleeden, at hie outgav al hies pennien for tu werre reght shoone. Hie kummerde selv nit om hies soldaaten, kummerde selv nit om teater or om tu ga in de wald, outer aleen for tu forstelle hies ny kleeden. Hie hade een kleedingstuck for ever uor av de dag, en as man sag av een kung, "Hie ar in de raad", so sagde man hier alteid: "Hie ar in de kleedroum!".
In de groote stad wer hie woonde, war de leiv muk luckly. Ever dag, kam mucke fremde menshen dar. Een dag, kam twee swindleren. Dee outgav selv for tu werre wevveren en sagde at dee konde wevve de feinste stof welk man kon denke. De farven en de munster war nit aleen unwoonly shoone, dogh de kleeden welk war naade av de stof hadde de wonderbare eegenshap at dee war unsightbare for ever mensh welk war nit guode for hies ambd or ook war untuolaatly dumme.
"Dat sholde werre een feine kleed", denkte de keiser; "if ig sholde dragge dem, konde ig outfinde welke mannen in mein reik ar nit guode for de ambd welk dee hav; ig konde undersheide de kluoken av de dummen!"
