"Do you think this cloth is gorgeous?" The two honest officials said, "Your Majesty, look: what a beautiful pattern! What a beautiful color! They pointed to the loom and believed that the fabric would be visible.

"What's going on?" The emperor thought to himself. "I didn't see anything! It's appalling. Am I a stupid person? Am I not worthy to be an emperor? That's the scariest thing that ever happened. ”

"Oops, that's beautiful!" The emperor said. "I'm very satisfied!"

So he nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the loom carefully, and he didn't want to say that he didn't see anything. All the attachés who came with him also looked carefully and carefully, but they did not see anything more than the others.

Like the emperor, they also said, "Oh, it's beautiful! They suggested to the emperor that they make clothes out of this strange and beautiful cloth, and wear them to the upcoming processions.

"This cloth is gorgeous! Exquisite! Unparalleled! Everyone chimed in. Everyone has indescribable happiness.

The emperor gave each of the crooks the title of "Imperial Weaver", knighted them, and awarded them a medal that could be hung on a buttonhole.

The next morning, the parade was to be held. The night before, the two crooks lit more than sixteen candles throughout the night. One could see that they were working at night to finish the emperor's new clothes. They pretended to remove the cloth from the loom and cut it in the air for a while with two large scissors, while sewing it with unthreaded needles. Finally, they said in unison, "Look! New clothes are sewn! ”

The emperor himself came with a group of the noblest knights. The two crooks each raised a hand, as if they were holding something.

They said, "Look, here's the trousers, here's the robe, here's the tunics." "The clothes are so soft that they feel as if there's nothing on them, and that's the beauty of these clothes."

"Not bad at all," said all the knights. But they saw nothing, because there was nothing.

"Now the Emperor will take off his clothes," said the two liars, "so that we may put on your new clothes in front of this great mirror." ”

The emperor took off all his clothes. One by one, the two crooks pretended to give him the new clothes they had just sewn. They were around his waist for a while, as if they were tying something on: this was the back skirt. The emperor turned around in front of the mirror and twisted his waist.

"God, how it fits! What a beautiful cut! "Everybody says." What a beautiful pattern! What a beautiful color! This is really expensive clothes! ”
