The Emperor's New Clothes Story | Moral Story

The Emperor’s New Clothes Story: Many years ago, there was a wealthy and vain emperor who cared only about fashion. Instead of attending to his royal duties, he spent hours in his private chambers, admiring himself in fancy outfits. He loved looking at himself in all the mirrors that lined the walls.

The emperor’s love for expensive clothes became famous far and wide. Merchants from all over came to sell him clothes, but even the finest outfits didn’t satisfy him for long.

One morning, while the emperor was in a meeting with the prime minister, two strangers arrived at the palace.

“Your Majesty, we are master weavers,” said the taller man. “Our clothes are made from the rarest fabric.”

“But only the lucky few can truly appreciate our creation,” added the other man.

“Only the lucky few?” asked the emperor, curious.

“Our fabrics are so special that only the cleverest people can see them. To everyone else, they are invisible, as if there’s nothing there at all!” explained the weavers.

The prime minister wanted to protest, but the emperor silenced him with a wave of his hand.

“Give these fine gentlemen everything they need,” said the emperor. “I want a splendid new outfit for my royal procession next week.”

The prime minister handed the weavers twelve bags of gold and noticed them winking at each other as they took the money.

A few days later, the emperor grew impatient and called for the prime minister.

“Go and see how the weavers are getting on with my new suit,” he ordered.

The prime minister went to their workshop but saw nothing on the loom.

“What do you think?” asked the smaller weaver.

The prime minister’s heart sank. He couldn’t see anything, but he didn’t want to seem foolish.

“It’s a triumph,” he lied. “I’ll tell the emperor what I’ve seen.”

Finally, the day of the royal procession arrived. The weavers came to the emperor’s chamber.

“Your Majesty,” said the tall weaver, bowing, “we present your new clothes!”

The emperor was shocked. He couldn’t see anything but didn’t want to admit it. He glanced at the prime minister, who appeared to be admiring the outfit.

“Thank you!” said the emperor, too proud to confess he couldn’t see the clothes.

People gathered in the streets to see the emperor in his new outfit. For a moment, the crowd was silent. Then, not wanting to seem foolish, they cheered.

But then, a small boy pushed to the front of the crowd and shouted, “The emperor has no clothes on!”

There was a pause, and then the crowd burst into laughter.

The emperor gulped. The weavers had taken advantage of his pride, making him look like a fool. Filled with shame, the emperor vowed never to be so vain about his clothes again.

The moral of the story is: “Don’t let pride make you believe something that’s not true. It’s important to be honest and not afraid to speak up, even if everyone else is pretending.”
