On a pretty rainy day, some children decide to play. It doesn't take long until they choose a game: "Împărate, împărate cu cămaşa ruptă-n spate" ["Emperor, emperor, with the shirt ripped at the back"]. This game involves counting, running, mime and guessing. First, the children First, the children count, not by using numbers but a special formula: "Ala bala portocala, vântu-ţi zboară pălăria". This magic saying helps them select the Judge, who, in his/her turn, will appoint the Emperor. Then, the Courtiers have a meeting and agree on a convenient answer to the Emperor's possible questions as to their absence from the court. They come back to the Emperor, who asks them where they have been. The Courtiers answer: to the Empress! Then, when asked what they have done there, they mime an activity (dancing, in the case of the first part of the movie), which the Emperor has to guess. Usually, the Courtiers do not do what the Emperor orders them to, he chases them and the one he catches becomes a pageboy. In the second part of the movie, after the magic count, the children choose an Empress. Consequently, the Courtiers go to the Emperor and then mime what they have done there, while the Empress has to guess that they have painted on glass. Again, although this time after several attempts, the sovereign guesses their activity, realizes that painting on glass is not part of their common duties, and chases them. The game can go on until the children are too tired to play. There are several versions of this game. Anyway, all that matters is that the children have fun media type="youtube" key="RJhR0boKGZw" height="315" width="420"
