皇帝的新装

Long, long time ago, there lived a very fancy king. The king changed his clothes 12 times a day. He really liked to show off to his subjects. \"My clothes are the best in the world.\"

One day, two tailors planned a trick. \"Why don't we teach that stupid and extravagant king a lesson. He doesn't even worry about his starving people.\" \"That's right! He thinks he's the best.\"

The two men went to see the king. \"Oh, the world's most marvelous king! We have brought the most beautiful cloth in the whole world.\" \"However, not everyone is able to see the cloth. Those that tell lies and have bad hearts are not able to see this fine cloth.\"

After the king heard those words, he became very interested. \"Could there really be such a cloth

If I can make clothes out of those cloths, my clothes will be the best in the whole world. Hurry and show me the cloth.\" The king began to get more and more greedy. The tailors pretended that the cloth was real, as they showed it to the king. The king and the fine-spoken subjects could not see anything before them. But, none of them could show that they could not see it.

The king and his fine-spoken subjects just looked at each other. Then, the tailor quickly spoke in a arrogant manner. \"Well, is there no honest man here How can you look at this beautiful cloth and not praise it.\"
