Summary: A vain and self-absorbed king cares only about his appearance and spends all his money on fancy clothes. Two cunning swindlers arrive at his court, claiming they can weave a magical fabric that is invisible to anyone who is unfit for their position or foolish. Intrigued, the king commissions them to make a suit. The tricksters pretend to weave and sew, while in reality, they make nothing at all. Everyone, including the king and his ministers, pretends to see the clothes—afraid to admit they see nothing, lest they appear unworthy or stupid. The king “wears” the invisible suit in a grand parade through the city. The townspeople also pretend to admire the outfit, until one innocent child speaks the truth and exclaims: “But the king isn’t wearing anything at all!” Though the king is deeply embarrassed, he continues walking, unwilling to admit he’s been fooled.
