There used to be a Sovereign who adored nothing better compared to wearing extravagant new garments. Three times each day he would change into a fresh out of the plastic new imperial outfit. Numerous Heads go through their days conversing with counselors and fixing issues of the land. Not this one! He was too bustling conveying his workers to track down the following extraordinary outfit to wear.

On one occasion two outsiders came to town. They said they were weavers. They said the fabric they wove was the best anybody could at any point see. In any case, as a matter of fact, they were not weavers - they were law breakers.

These phony weavers said their material was more gorgeous than some other fabric Yet it remained invisible to simply anybody. Just individuals who were brilliant and the most superb could really see the enchanted fabric. Individuals who were not brilliant and not great - indeed, they would not see anything by any means.

Before long, word arrived at the Head about these two weavers and their fine material. He thought, "I'm the most savvy and the most phenomenal Ruler! Anybody can guess by how great I generally look! I don't have to stress over that senseless wizardry."

So the Head went to see the two weavers. These shrewd criminals ran about their shop, pointing at void corners and tables. They said proudly, "Check out at these heaps of fine material! Most likely you have never seen colors as splendid as these, designs as gorgeous!" The Sovereign couldn't comprehend - he saw no material, anyplace!

The Head thought, "I can't tell anybody that I can't see this enchanted material! Who can say for sure what they might think about me!" So all things considered he said, "Without a doubt! This is the most gorgeous material anybody has at any point seen!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Emperor could see no cloth, anywhere!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For reasons unknown, the Head's amazing yearly Procession was coming up soon. This was a unique day when everybody in the realm arranged to respect the Sovereign and cheer him as he strolled by. This year the Sovereign needed an outfit more fine than any other time. It should be produced using the weaver's great fabric!

However there was almost no time. Might they at any point wind around the material in time for the Procession? The two phony weavers grimaced, as though they couldn't rest assured. Then they grinned and said OK, they could make him the best imperial outfit and cape of all time. In any case, it would cost numerous additional gold coins for the work to be prepared in time.

The Ruler paid everything. The two convicts put the gold solidly into their chest. In any case, they didn't buy yarn. All they purchased were a couple of candles to consume in the windows around evening time. That way everybody would agree, "Look! Those new weavers are working the entire night to prepare the Ruler's new garments in time for the Motorcade."

On the morning of the Motorcade, the Sovereign came to the weaver's shop. He felt sure that this time he would have the option to see the enchanted material. Yet at the same time, the Ruler didn't see anything!

At the point when it was the ideal opportunity for the Head to strip down, the shrewd hoodlums said, "These garments are so light and vaporous it will feel as though you don't have anything on by any means." And without a doubt, that is the way it appeared to the Ruler!

For when he searched in the mirror, he found in the reflection that he was wearing nothing. Be that as it may, he thought, truly, he should be wearing an exceptionally fantastic outfit. One worth all the additional cash he had spent.

At the Procession, the Head strolled tall and pleased. Every individual who saw him go by thought, "I can't really accept that how the situation is playing out! The Sovereign is wearing no garments!"

But each person said nothing. They knew that only people who were smart and excellent could see the magic clothes. So instead they cheered, “There goes the Emperor! Doesn’t he look fine!”

All of a sudden, one little boy called out, “Look! The Emperor has no clothes!” Everyone gasped. Then another child called out, “Look at him! He has nothing on at all!”

Then someone laughed. And someone else. Then more and more people started to laugh. Someone said aloud, “Would you look at that? Our Emperor has no clothes!”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soon, everyone was calling out and laughing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Goodness dear!" thought the Sovereign. "Presently everybody realizes I was unable to see the material! They will realize I didn't shout out on the grounds that I feared what individuals would think about me. What will they think about me now?"

Yet, the Motorcade should go on. Thus the Head kept on strolling. Furthermore, the workers behind him kept on holding high the train that wasn't there.
