Once there was a royal emperor who
was very rich and just loved clothes and thought he was the
best person in the whole world. One day a group of
jokesters zipped into town and heard about the
emperor. They heard that the emperor loved clothes. So they
decided to disguise themselves as weavers. The jokesters said that
they would weave a cloth to make fine clothes for the emperor. But
the fabric was magical because nobody besides the emperor could
see it. The jokesters made the suit out of invisible yarn.
Fools would be unable to see it.
The emperor gave the swindlers a chest
of gold. The emperor was nosy because he wondered
what his new clothes looked like. He sent his royal servant to
check on his new clothes. The royal servant thought after not
seeing the clothes, "Can it be that I am a fool?" The royal
servant told the emperor, " I think your clothes are
beautiful". The jokesters lied about the
invisible clothes. The jokesters helped the emperor put on his new
clothes. The emperor looked at himself in the mirror. The emperor
felt guilty for feeling like he was not a good
emperor because he could not see the clothes. The emperor gave the
jokesters twenty more chests of gold. The jokesters were
mean. They will get in trouble if the emperor finds
out he was tricked.
The emperor wanted to show his clothes to
everyone in the town. Everyone in the town gathered to see the
emperor's new clothes. When the emperor came out the people were
surprised to see the emperor wearing only his crown on his
head and his underwear. The emperor felt dignified
and very much like a king when he walked down the
street. Everybody was quiet when they saw the emperor
without any clothes on. When the people saw the emperor's
new clothes they were afraid to tell him he had no clothes. A
little boy was standing by his mother and said, "Mother, the
emperor has no clothes on." The emperor was very
embarrassed, but did not want to tell anyone that he knew the
truth. So the emperor kept on marching down the street in his
underwear. The jokesters were exiled to another
country.
The End
