Chapter 1 Once upon a time, there was a rich Emperor. He lived in a big castle and had many servants. The emperor loved good music and good food. But most of all, he loved good clothes. He had different clothes for every day of the week, and different clothes for every hour of the day. On his birthday, he always asked for new shirts, new pants and new shoes. And that’s what he always got. One day, two poor men named Buster and Clyde came to the emperor’s city. They wanted to make money in the city, but they didn’t want to work hard. They heard some townspeople talking about the emperor. The Emperor will hold another parade tomorrow. Oh really? I wonder what he will be wearing. Excuse me. What did you say about a parade? Our emperor loves new clothes. When he gets a new suit, he has a parade. Then everyone in the city can see his nice, new clothes. I see. Thank you. Hey Clyde, did you hear that? Hear what? The emperor loves new clothes. I have a great idea. We can make lots of money. What’s your idea? We will pretend to be tailors. We will tell the emperor that we can make magic clothes. Only smart and hard working people can see the magic clothes. If someone can’t see them, then they must be stupid or lazy. But Buster, we don’t know how to make clothes. That’s the best part. We only pretend to make clothes. No one will be able to see them, but everyone will be afraid to say anything. If they say they can’t see the clothes, all their friends will think they are stupid. Even the emperor will say he can see the clothes. He doesn’t want people to think he is stupid. We’ll be rich! Wow! That’s a great idea.
