The Emperor's New Clothes

Hans Christian Andersen (1805 – 1875)

Many years ago, there was an emperor who was so fond of clothes that he spent all his money on them.

Life was happy and energetic in the country, and many strangers came to it every day. One day, two impostors arrived, saying that they knew how to weave the most exquisite fabric imaginable. Not only were the colors and patterns beautiful, but the clothes had the property of becoming invisible to people who were stupid.

"Those must be valuable clothes," thought the emperor. "By wearing them I should be able to distinguish wise men from fools. I want pants, a jacket, and a cape." And he paid a large sum of money in advance to them, as they required.

So they settled in palace and pretended to weave. They asked for the finest silks and the purest gold thread, all of which went into their own bags, while they worked at their empty looms.

"I want to know how those weavers are advancing with my pants, jacket and cape," thought the emperor. But he thought it was better to send someone else first. "I will send my faithful old prime minister," thought the emperor, "because he is a man of sense."

So the minister went into the room to visit the impostors. "Oh, no, I can't see anything at all!" thought the old man. But he did not say anything.

"Well, sir, what do you think?" asked one of the pretenders.

"Oh, it is the most elegant, the most beautiful!" lied the old man. "What a fine pattern, and what fine colors! I will certainly tell the emperor how pleased I am with it."

"We are very glad," said both the weavers. "Look, we even made a hat!"
