The emperor's new clothes

Many years ago, there lived an emperor who was very fond of wearing nice new clothes. The palace closet already had a large load of clothes, but he was not satisfied, all day long to find better.

One day there came two swindlers ---- a fat man and a thin man. They went around telling everyone that they were the best weavers in the world. They could weave the most beautiful cloth imaginable, and the colors and patterns were so beautiful that the clothes were more beautiful than the clouds in the sky. Before long, the story reached the ears of the emperor, who hurried to invite the fat man and the thin man into the palace. "I heard that you can weave the most beautiful cloth in the world, but is it true?" The emperor asked. The thin man hurriedly nodded and bowed: "of course it is true! Sire, we can make not only the most beautiful dress in the world, but a wonderful dress, and only the wise can see it; The stupid can only see air. You can tell a wise man from a fool by wearing it!" The emperor was delighted to see such wonderful clothes. So he gave them a palace and a great deal of gold to weave for themselves.

From then on, people often heard the palace from the jingle jingle sound, can still see the bright candlelight inside late at night, the two people seem to be working very hard! But no one had ever seen the cloth they had woven. The emperor waited and waited, very anxious! He wanted to go and see, but if he could see nothing, he would be a fool. He thought and thought, but he was still afraid. I sent one of the smartest and most honest people around to look at it! When the minister came to the palace, he found the fat man and the thin man working very busily at their empty looms. He was looking down on the shelf. "Ouch! Why is it empty? Nothing!" The minister was so frightened that he rubbed his eyes, but he could not see anything, for there was nothing to see. He panicked: "Am I a fool? No, I can't tell the truth. Then everyone will know I'm a fool! No way! Never tell the truth." So he went back and told the emperor how precious the cloth was. How beautiful the patterns are! It was as if he had actually seen the cloth. When the emperor heard this, he was so happy! After a while, the emperor sent another honest official to see if the cloth would soon be ready. This minister, like the minister before him, saw nothing! But he didn't want anyone to know he was a fool. So he also made a big boast to deceive the emperor.

So day after day passed, and soon the country's anniversary would come. Every year on this day, the emperor would put on his most satisfactory clothes and parade in the capital. The emperor wanted to wear the magic suit for the day of the parade, so he urged the fat man and the thin man to finish it quickly! So they sat up all night, one cutting through the air with his shears; With a needle without thread. On the day of the parade, they came to the palace with what seemed to be something very valuable in their hands. Walking up carefully, the fat man said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, we present this wonderful dress to you!" The thin man pointed to the fat man's hand and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please look! It is the most beautiful dress in the world, and the most wonderful thing about it is that it is lighter than a feather, so that you will feel as if you had no clothes on!" The two men spoke so well, but what about the Emperor? He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't see anything, just like the other two ministers. But how could one tell the truth? He's the emperor! So he pretended to have seen the dress, and nodded his head and praised it. Then he took off his clothes and put on the dress. Still in front of the mirror twist twist past, as if in careful appreciation. After a while, the parade horn sounded, the emperor thus began the parade! He walked in front with his head held high and the people on both sides of the street were terrified: "Wow! How beautiful the Emperor's new clothes are!" But actually? No one had seen the dress! But who would admit to being a fool? We all had to lie! In the midst of the parade, a child shouted, "Ha! Ha! Look, the emperor has no clothes. How funny!" Suddenly, the parade stopped, the emperor also stayed in place, do not mention how embarrassed! He was about to lose his temper when a sudden gust of cold wind made him shiver.

Then I realized that both of them were liars! But what a shame it was for the emperor to be deceived! Everyone knows will laugh to death, there is no way, he had to walk around naked in the street, in the heart of the gas are going to explode!
