The Emperor’s New Clothes is a story
of honesty, forgiveness and humility. It corners the Emperor’s vanity to
clothes and living a life of extravagance, luxury and lavishness. It was said
that the Emperor loved beautiful new clothes so much that he spent all his
money on being finely dressed. He loved going to the theater or fond of riding
about in his carriage to show off his new clothes. He had a different costume
for every hour of the day. He was the ruler who spent most of his time in his
dressing more than at the palace’s court. One day his royal wife and at the
same time his fashion confidant suggested of a grand and extravagant
thanksgiving parade. The royal couple invited all the finest weavers in the
kingdom to create cloth that will exalt the emperor to be envied by all. Until,
he was swindled by the two weavers, who claimed to be weavers who knew how to
make the finest cloth imaginable with colors and patterns were extraordinarily
beautiful, that its material had the amazing property which was invisible to
anyone who was incompetent and stupid. The announcement went around the kingdom
that the emperor will be parading new clothes and only those who were sensible
can see its magnificence. On the day of thanksgiving, everyone praised the
emperor’s new clothes, while all the people were applauding and giving good
admiration to the king and his costume, a child’s voice echoed confidently up
in the air that made everyone stupefied and speechless. He shouted, “The
Emperor doesn’t have anything on!”, the statement brought each one to realize that the child was right.
The emperor shuddered, for he knew that they were right, but he thought to just
go on walking together with the chamberlains carrying the train that wasn't
there. He immediately ordered to capture the tricksters and punished them
accordingly. The two tricksters pleaded for forgiveness and promised to create
the real splendid clothes for him as a sign of their honest repentance as they
were true fine weavers before they became dishonorable cheaters. After several
days, the new clothes of the emperor was finished that only wonderful words can
be said to describe the creation being a real masterpiece of all time. The
emperor announced a second royal procession not to brag his clothes but to
celebrate the true spirit of happiness that people should get hold of for a
progressive and peaceful kingdom that will make all live happily forevermore.
