Emperors new cloth
KING HAS NO CLOTHES
ONCE there lived an emperor who was so obsessed with luxury clothes. He always focused on looking good that he forgot about his kingdom and subjects, his kingdom was deteriorating day by day. One day few weavers from neighboring kingdom came to his palace and king ordered them to make special clothes that no one have ever worn. The weavers pondered for a while and then said, "Our cloth will have one specialty that only wise men would be able to see it, no fools will be able to see it". clever weavers asked for golden threads and fine silks to weave the cloth, but they only pretend like weaving and asked the kings men "How is the cloth?" In order to show that they are not fools they said gazing at their empty hands "Well, I can see the cloth, it is very beautiful." one said. "Indeed, it is exquisite" stammered the other one.
