The Emperor’s new clothes.

Many years ago there was an emperor.  He loved clothes, and spent all his money on them.  He often walked through the city to show his new clothes.  He had a different coat for every hour of the day. 

The emperor's city was very busy.  Every day new people came to the city.  One day two men came and told everyone they were tailors.  They said they made the most beautiful clothing in the world.  They also said stupid people couldn't see the clothing.  Only smart people could see their beautiful clothing.

“Those clothes are perfect!” thought the emperor.  “When I wear them, I can learn who isn't smart.  Yes, I must have the tailors make me some clothes today.”  The emperor gave the men a lot of money.

The men went into a building and told everyone they were working.  But they didn't do any work.  The emperor wanted to know if his clothes were done. Everyone else in the city wanted to know, too.  People wanted to see if their neighbors were stupid.  

The emperor had many ministers.  Ministers were very smart people who helped the emperor.  The emperor asked one minister to go to the tailors.  The minister went inside the building.  “Oh no!  I can't see the clothes!” he thought.  But he said nothing. 

The men asked the minister if he liked the emperor's new clothes.  The minister opened and closed his eyes.  “Can I be so stupid?” he thought.

The men asked, “What do you think?”  The minister said, “Oh, it is beautiful, very beautiful.  I will tell the emperor that I think it is perfect.”  Then the men asked the minister for more money.  The next day, the emperor sent more minsters to the tailors.  The same thing happened.  The ministers were afraid to look stupid.  They came back and told the emperor about his beautiful new clothes. 

Everyone in the city was excited about the clothing.  Now the emperor wanted to see his clothing.  He went to the tailors with all his ministers.  The ministers pointed to the empty room and said, “Look at your wonderful new clothes!”  They thought everyone else could see them.

“What?” the emperor thought.  “I can't see anything!  Am I stupid?  Am I too stupid to be the emperor?  Everyone else can see the clothes!” 

The tailors said, “Your new clothes are ready for you, emperor!”  They pretended to lift up pieces of clothing.  “Look, it's your pants!  And here is your coat!  They are so light, you will think you are not wearing anything.  But that is because they are so expensive and nice.  Please take off your clothes, so we can put on your new clothes.”

The men pretended to give the emperor clothing, and the emperor pretended to put it on.  “How beautiful!” everyone said, “They are perfect for the emperor!”  The emperor pretended to look at the clothing in the mirror.

The emperor went outside to walk down the street.  Everyone said, “Look at the emperor's new clothes! They're wonderful!  They have so many colors!”  No one could show that they were stupid.  The people in the city liked this clothing more than any other clothing the emperor had. 

“But he has nothing on!” a little child said. 

“Oh, what children say,” said his father. 

Then everyone said, “But he has nothing on!”  The emperor thought, “Maybe they're right, but I must finish my walk.” And all the emperor's ministers walked behind him, looking at the emperor's new clothes.
