Summary
The tale «The Emperor's New Clothes» tells the story of a vain emperor who adored clothes and spent all his time and money on them. One day, two swindlers came to him, claiming they could sew an extraordinary outfit that would be invisible to fools and the unworthy. Eager to possess such attire, the emperor hired them. The swindlers pretended to work, and all the courtiers, afraid of appearing foolish, admired the nonexistent garment. Eventually, the emperor paraded in his «new clothes», and only a small boy in the crowd exclaimed that the emperor was indeed naked. Despite this, the emperor continued his procession, proudly refusing to acknowledge his mistake.
