  • Many years ago, there was an emperor who loved beautiful new clothes, he spent all his money on clothes, never cared about his army, never watched plays, never went to the park, only thought about showing off his new clothes

  • People always said about him, "The emperor is in the dressing room"

  • One day, two tricksters came to the city, they said they were weavers who could weave the most beautiful cloth anyone could imagine

  • This cloth had a strange quality, anyone who was foolish or incompetent would not be able to see it

  • The emperor thought, if I wear such clothes, I can find out who in my kingdom is incompetent, who is wise and who is foolish

  • So he paid a lot of money to the two tricksters and asked them to weave the cloth right away

  • Actually there was nothing on the looms, the tricksters put all the silk and gold into their own pockets, only pretending to work on the empty looms until late at night

  • First, the emperor sent his honest old minister to look, the minister opened his eyes very wide, but saw nothing

  • But he thought, could I be foolish?, I must never let anyone know!

  • So he praised it saying, "It's beautiful! It's wonderful!"

  • The emperor then sent another official to look, similarly he saw nothing and dared not say anything, only kept praising how beautiful the cloth was

  • Finally, the emperor went to look himself, he saw nothing and was very scared inside, am I a foolish person?, don't I deserve to be emperor?

  • But he still said, "Oh, it's beautiful! I'm very satisfied!"

  • The emperor granted the two tricksters titles of nobility and medals, he called them "Royal Weavers"

  • The night before the parade, the tricksters worked through the night, they lit candles, pretended to cut fabric with scissors, sewed with needles that had no thread

  • The next morning, the emperor arrived with his knights, the two tricksters raised their hands as if holding something, they said, "Here are the pants, here's the robe, here's the outer garment, light as spider webs, you feel like you're wearing nothing"

  • The emperor took off all his clothes, the tricksters pretended to dress him in the new garments, they fastened something around his waist as a train

  • The emperor turned before the mirror, everyone said, "How perfectly it fits! How beautiful!"

  • The emperor paraded through the streets beneath a magnificent canopy, people on the streets and in windows all exclaimed, "Wow! The emperor's new clothes are so beautiful! The train is so gorgeous!"

  • Nobody wanted to admit they couldn't see anything

  • Suddenly, a child shouted out, "But he's not wearing any clothes!"

  • The father said, "Listen to that innocent voice!", everyone quietly spread the word

  • "He isn't wearing any clothes! A child said he isn't wearing any clothes!"

  • "He really isn't wearing any clothes!", finally all the people said

  • The emperor trembled slightly, but he thought, I must complete the parade

  • So he walked with even prouder spirits, his officials followed behind, holding a train that didn't actually exist
