        THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES
Once upon a time there is an emperor whose only interest in life is to dress up in fashionable clothes. His wardrop is full of t-shirts, boots, sweaters, shoes, scarfs. Once, two thieves decide to teach him a lesson. They tell the emperor that they are very fine tailors and can sew a lovely new cloth for him. The emperor is very excited

He asks can you sew pants? The thieves answer, yes your majesty. The emperor says “oh pants! I love pants. I love pants. The emperor asks, can you sew a shirt? The thieves answer, ofcourse yes your majesty. The emperor said “oh shirt! I love shirt.I love shirt.” The emperor asks, can you sew a jacket? The thieves answer, sure yes your majesty the emperor says “ oh jacket I love jacket I love jacket”
They say, they want to sew a dress for him. the emperor says “oh dress! I love dress. I love dress”. Thieves add it will be so light and fine that it will seem invisible. Only those who are stupid cannot see it. The emperor adds that he also wants a hat and a coat. The thieves want so much coins. The greedy king gives them lots of coins.
Finally, the emperor’s new dress is ready. He can see nothing but he too does not want to appear stupid. He admires the dress and thanks the tailors. Then he walks on the street. The people can only see a naked emperor but no one admits it for fear of being thought stupid. They foolishly praise the invisible fabric and the colours. The emperor is very happy.
At last, a child cried out, “The emperor is naked!” Soon everyone begin to shout, “The emperor is not wearing anything!” The emperor realises the truth but prefers to believe that his people are stupid.
