  • The Emperor's New Clothes

  • Once upon a time, a rich and greedy Emperor lived in a magnificent palace.

  • While his people suffered in hunger and poverty,

  • the Emperor spent his wealth on adorning himself and filling his palace with luxury.

  • One day, a man came to visit the Emperor.

  • Your Majesty, I can create the most beautiful robe in the world for you.

  • The Emperor was very curious about the offer. Really? The most beautiful robe in the world?

  • That's right. I would be happy to show you, but I need some gold to buy materials.

  • Servants, give this man all the gold he needs. I want him to begin immediately.

  • That very day the man began his work.

  • He chose a large room in the palace where he would sit and weave for hours,

  • but he didn't seem to have any thread or fabric in his hands.

  • (Giggle)

  • A month went by, and still the man showed no signs of progress.

  • The Emperor began to grow anxious and called his servant.

  • However gorgeous and opulent these garments may be, he is taking far too long.

  • I am tired of waiting. Go and see what he is doing in that room. Now!

  • The servant came into the room and saw the man waving his hands over an empty weaving loom.

  • He wasn't making anything.

  • What are you doing there? Where is the robe? There's nothing there!

  • Why, I'm making it right now, here it is. Can't you see it?

  • See what? Where?

  • Ah, your eyes are unable to grasp it. This robe is made of a very special material.

  • It only reveals itself to those who are pure of soul.

  • The servant was taken aback and embarrassed. He instantly changed his attitude.

  • Oh yes, of course. Now I see it. It's beautiful!

  • I am going to need some more fabric. Go back to the Emperor and ask him to give me more gold.

  • Your Majesty, I have seen the robe and it is a work of genius.

  • Please give him more money so he could finish the fabric.

  • The Emperor was overjoyed to hear this.

  • Is it really that wondrous? Bring him more gold at once!

  • I want that new robe finished as soon as possible.

  • The man meanwhile, was having a splendid time.

  • He only pretended to weave and spent most of his day joking around.

  • Soon, I will be very rich! He he he!

  • Almost two months went by, and the man continued to insist the robe was not finished.

  • I've had enough of this! I will wait no longer,

  • I will see this wonder for myself.

  • The Emperor and his servant came to see the man's work.

  • He just sat there, working away at his empty loom.

  • Tell me, how much more time do you need?

  • Oh, just a little longer. See it's almost done, take a look at this.

  • Realizing there was nothing in the man's hands,

  • the Emperor was confused.

  • As he stared at the empty air, his servant spoke up.

  • The man says this special robe is visible only to those pure of heart, like Your Majesty.

  • Isn't it lovely?

  • Uh...is it?

  • Just a little more time, all I have left to do is to attach this collar here.

  • Oh, I see. Your skills are exquisite.

  • The Emperor also pretended he could see the robe.

  • Alright then, go ahead and finish it. Ahem.

  • The Emperor was skeptical, but he said nothing because he didn't want anyone to think

  • his heart wasn't pure.

  • The man was overcome by a fit of giggles as soon as the Emperor left the room.

  • In a few days, the man appeared at the Emperor's chambers, claiming the robe was complete.

  • Your Majesty, I have good news. My work is done.

  • Is it? Let me try it on then.

  • Here you are, Your Majesty. Please handle it gently, the fabric is fragile.

  • It is indeed, so light and beautiful.

  • The moment the Emperor put on the invisible robe, his servant gazed at him in wonder and admiration.

  • Oh Your Majesty, it looks so magnificent on you! The most exquisite robe ever made!

  • Do you think so? Of course I like it very much.

  • Perhaps Your Majesty should wear it for the upcoming parade?

  • A splendid idea! Ha ha ha! Give him more gold for this masterpiece!

  • As soon as he was paid, the man slunk out of the palace and hurried away.

  • That Emperor is such a fool! (Giggle)

  • The morning of the parade dawned, and the Emperor stood admiring himself in a mirror, completely naked.

  • What an amazing robe, I am convinced my people will be stunned by my radiance!

  • The servant peeked in and called the Emperor to the door.

  • Your Majesty, the parade is about to commence. Are you ready?

  • Let's go now, Your Highness

  • Uh...yes, of course.

  • Finally, the long-awaited parade began.

  • The Emperor boldly showed off his expensive new robe, waving his hand at the people.

  • What a sunning robe! Our Emperor looks so elegant in it.

  • Hooray! Hooray!

  • The people had all heard that the robe was only visible to the pure of heart,

  • so they dutifully cheered and pretended to be amazed.

  • Hearing all of the cheering, the Emperor grew more and more confident,

  • showing off his naked body this way and that.

  • Look how the people admire my new robe! I am the most magnificent Emperor of all! Ha ha ha!

  • The Emperor was very pleased with himself.

  • Suddenly a child from the crowd pointed at the Emperor and began to shout.

  • Ha ha ha! Look, how funny! The Emperor is naked!

  • Hearing the child, the other people began to laugh too.

  • The laughter grew louder and louder.

  • The Emperor is naked! Ha ha ha!

  • What's going on!?

  • The Emperor was blushing from embarrassment at being laughed at by his own people,

  • but he couldn't stop the parade.

  • He carried on, and had to endure the ridicule and humiliation that followed him,

  • as he posed as the most exquisite emperor in the world.
