Once upon a time, there was an Emperor who was very concerned about his appearance. He loved new clothes and spent all his money on them.
Two swindlers heard about the Emperor's obsession and decided to take advantage of it. They pretended to be weavers and told the Emperor they could make him the most beautiful clothes in the world, but only wise people could see them.
The Emperor was intrigued and agreed to the deal. The swindlers started working on the clothes, but in reality, they were just pretending to weave.
When the Emperor went to see the clothes, he couldn't see anything, but he didn't want to admit it because he didn't want to seem foolish. So he pretended to admire the clothes and wore them in a parade through the city.
Everyone in the city praised the Emperor's new clothes, but a little boy shouted, "The Emperor is naked!" Suddenly, everyone realized the truth and started laughing at the Emperor.
The Emperor felt embarrassed and ashamed, but he learned a valuable lesson about vanity and honesty.
