The Emperor's New Clothes
Once upon a time there lived an emperor who loved clothes and was extremely vain. ‘I must have a new outfit for the royal procession and I need it to be designed by someone totally splendid’, he demanded of his butler. The emperor was warned that a new outfit would be very expensive and there wasn’t really much money to spare for new togs, but he was adamant. The palace put out a proclamation asking that splendid fashion designers put themselves forth for interview to design a royal outfit for the royal procession. A pair of chancers thought they would give it a go. They flattered the emperor to such an extent they managed to convince him that no clothes at all were ‘an outfit fit for a king that and visible only to clever people’. On the day of the royal procession no-one dared tell the emperor that he was starkers for fear of being accused that they were stupid. But the truth was in any case revealed when a little boy shouted ‘Oh my, the emperor has no clothes on!’.
