Emperor's
New
Clothes
AN ADAPTATION OF H ANS CH RISTIAN
ANDERSEN'S CLASSIC STORY
 Once upon a time there was an
Emperor who loved clothes!
The Emperor loved clothes so much
that he had a whole room full of them!

One day, two strangers arrived at the

Emperor’s palace. 
“We can make you the most beautiful clothes in
all the world” they said.
 “Ah” thought the Emperor. “I want the most
beautiful clothes in all the world.”
“Okay. You will have them!” said the strangers.
 
For days and days and days and days the
strangers worked on the clothes . But nobody
could see the clothes.

The Emperor grew impatient!

“Where are the new clothes?,” said the Emperor!
“Here, Your Majesty,” said the first stranger.
The Emperor was confused; he couldn’t see anything!
“I can’t see any clothes”, the Emperor said.
“These clothes are so special that only the most
intelligent people can see them, the strangers said
The Emperor wanted to seem intelligent. So he said:
“Oh of course, of course. They are beautiful.”
“Well,” said the strangers “ We could have them ready
for the big parade.”
 The day of the big parade came and the two
strangers presented the Emperor with his new
clothes.
“Everyone will admire you, Your Majesty.” said
the strangers.
All the Emperor’s friends knew that the clothes
were special and only intelligent people could
see it so they said…
“How beautiful!  What colours! What style! How
fashionable!”

It was time for the big parade. The Emperor

put on his new clothes and went to the
parade.

Everyone was looking at the Emperor. But,

suddenly, a little boy said: “Look! The
Emperor is only wearing his underwear”

The people on the street started to laugh.

The Emperor went red. He ran to the palace and
put some clothes on!

From that day on, the Emperor gave the little boy
an important job in his palace because he was the
only person that had told him the truth.
