"Many years ago lived an emperor, who thought so much of new clothes that he spent all his money in order to obtain them.
His only ambition was to be always well dressed.
One day two swindlers came to the city.
They made people believe that they were weavers, and declared they could manufacture the finest cloth to be imagined.
Their colours and patterns, they said, were not only exceptionally beautiful, but the clothes made of their material possessed the wonderful quality of being invisible to any man who was unfit for his office or unpardonably stupid.
That must be wonderful cloth, thought the emperor.
If I were to be dressed in a suit made of this cloth I should be able to find out which men in my empire were unfit for their places, and I could distinguish the clever from the stupid.
And he gave a large sum of money to the swindlers, in advance, that they should set to work without any loss of time.
They set up two looms, and pretended to be very hard at work, but they did nothing whatever on the looms.
Everybody in the town knew what a remarkable quality the stuff possessed, and all were anxious to see how bad or stupid their neighbours were.
At last the emperor wished to see it himself, while it was still on the loom.
With a number of courtiers, he went to the two clever swindlers, who now worked as hard as they could, but without using any thread.
Is it not magnificent? said one of them.
Your Majesty must admire the colours and the pattern.
What is this? thought the emperor, I do not see anything at all.
That is terrible! Am I stupid? Am I unfit to be emperor?
Really, he said, turning to the weavers, your cloth has our most gracious approval, and nodding contentedly he looked at the empty loom, for he did not like to say that he saw nothing.
All his attendants, who were with him, looked and looked, and although they could not see anything more than the others, they said, like the emperor, It is very beautiful.
And all advised him to wear the new magnificent clothes at a great procession which was soon to take place.
Everybody seemed to be delighted, and the emperor appointed the two swindlers Imperial Court weavers.
