[Jokes]The king's new clothes
Once upon a time there was a foolish king who loved to wear new clothes. All day long he ordered the dressmakers in his palace to make new clothes of different styles for him, and then he would show off his new clothes to his people. Although the tailors worked very hard, no one could come up with more new designs and make new and beautiful clothes every day.
One day the tailors showed the king the new clothes they had just made. The king lost his temper at once and said, "is this what you've got? Nothing creative. The king was so angry that he kicked the tailor and the new clothes a long way off.
The king had no satisfactory new clothes to wear, so he decided to put up a notice from the king. Soon all who saw the notice heard of it, and at last all the tailors in the country knew of the order and began to design the king's new clothes carefully.
A month later, there was a long queue outside the gate of the palace. Each tailor brought his favorite work to win the king's prize.
"King, it is made of the most precious silk.
"It's the latest fashion. It must look mighty for a king."
The king tried on one thing after another. He stood in front of the big mirror, looked left and right, and said critically, "tut, tut, how ugly it is! Tut, the flower color is too earthy! The king tried on a thousand things a day, but could not find one satisfactory. It was not that the clothes were ugly, but that the king was too fat.
Another month passed, but none of the clothes pleased the king, until one day two tailors, luigi and Carla, came from a neighboring country. They said to the king with great confidence, "we have a special kind of magic to make the most wonderful clothes in the world." The king was very pleased and asked, "what kind of cloth is it? What material is it? Why is it the most wonderful garment in the world?
"It's brighter than flowers, softer than clouds, it has a unique design, and the best part is that only smart people can see it," said luigi.
"Ah!" The king's surprised eyes said: "then the stupid people can not see the clothes?"
"Yeah, so it's a magical dress." Carla chimed in.
"Great! The king said happily, "if I only wear your clothes, I shall be able to tell which of my ministers are wise and which are unemployable fools."
Carla and luigi took a large sum of money from the king and began to work behind closed doors, but no one had ever seen what they were doing.
A month passed, and the king wanted to wear new clothes again.
"Is my wonderful new dress ready yet?" The king became more and more impatient, and could not help going to see for himself how the tailor worked. But when he thought about it, the king did not dare to go, for he was afraid that if he could not see the cloth, he would tell everyone that I was a foolish king. I'd better send an honest minister to see! "
Green, the honest minister, was ordered to see how the tailor was doing. He was also afraid that if he couldn't see the cloth, he would be laughed at. Green's heart was pounding outside the door, but he screwed up his courage and went into the weaving room. "how's it going, two tailors?" he cried.
Carla smiled and said, "we are working day and night. We are almost finished. Look, how beautiful the color and pattern of the cloth are!"
Green looked up and saw that there was nothing on the loom. He rubbed his eyes in surprise, but they were still empty. Luigi pointed at the loom and said triumphantly, "your excellency, isn't it beautiful? I think the king will be pleased, won't he?" Green was stunned. He stammered for a long time before saying out loud, "it's so... so... beautiful. Green didn't want to be taken for a fool, so he had to keep praising.
Carla, the tailor, said, "please tell the king that we shall soon be finished."
Green rushed back to the palace to report back to the king. His heart is very nervous, he dare not tell the truth, had to pretend to see the cloth, said the first time in his life lies, praise of say: "that cloth is really beautiful, bright color, delicate pattern, the cloth surface is soft, as if it will shine! I have never seen such beautiful cloth! The king was very happy, but green, who had lied for the first time in his life, was in a cold sweat.
After two days, the king couldn't wait. He sent another minister, normally known for his cleverness, to see the progress. When the wisest minister saw that there was nothing on the loom, he broke out in a cold sweat. But no one ever thought that minister green was any smarter than he was. He dared not admit that he could not see it, so he kept saying, "wow, what a beautiful cloth!"
The clever brown answered the king, "your majesty, you are so lucky to be able to wear clothes of that noble cloth. The king said, "that you can see the cloth proves that you are indeed a clever man. Very, very good!" Brown broke out in a cold sweat at the king's praise of him, because he could not see the magical dress, of course.
The king was very happy, for he thought, "if these fellows can see, I must be able to see too, for my brain is much brighter than theirs." The king smiled confidently.
When the king felt confident, he marched out of the palace with his guards, ready to see for himself how the tailor was doing. Several of the men who had opened the way went into the weaving room first. The notice said, "the two tailors have worked hard, and the king himself will come and see your work."
The two tailors said, "wise lords of the army, open your eyes and see first. The cloth is so beautiful and soft that I am sure you have never seen it before."
Servants, you look at me, I look at you, nobody sees anything. But no one dared to admit it, and they all said, "wow, what a strange material!"
The king smiled and went into the weaving room. He opened his eyes wide, but the sweat ran cold. "What's going on?" he thought anxiously. "why can't I see?
The king made up his mind to pretend he could see the cloth. The king smiled and said, "ha, ha, ha, this cloth is really beautiful, isn't it?" When the guards heard this, they praised him and said, "yes, it is so soft and smooth. I have never seen such a noble cloth. Everyone praised the cloth is good, but in the heart to scold themselves, why so stupid, can not see this wonderful cloth?
"Very well," said the king to the tailors, "when you have finished your work, make a dress for me at once. I am going to show my people in the streets how many wise men there are, and how many fools there are in the whole country." Then the king gave the two tailors the order of gold, the highest honor, and bags of gold.
The two tailors were overjoyed to receive so many rewards, and worked even harder. They seemed so busy that they had no rest from day till night. "Finished at last. Now let's cut the clothes!" The two tailors took the big scissors and snipped them out and stitched them together. Their hands were busy with each other.
They worked for another week, and then breathed a great sigh of relief. "Ah, dead tired, but finally done, I believe the king will be very happy, we quickly sent to the king. The two tailors went to the king with their new clothes. They said proudly:
"Your majesty, your new dress is finished. You see what a beautiful dress it is! I believe it will make you look younger and more handsome. "Said the tailor, turning the clothes about and showing them to the king.
Although the king could see nothing, he still put on an expression of satisfaction and praised the two tailors. The two dressmakers were so pleased that they said to the king, "your majesty, your clothes are too ugly.
The king listened to the tailor and took off his clothes, one by one, leaving only a pair of underpants. The tailor gestured, "please, king, put your hand into your sleeve. The king felt empty and could touch nothing. However, he still stood in front of the mirror, looked left and right, and kept saying: "well, as light as a feather, it is really cool to wear, your workmanship is really superb, I will reward you well. He also lavished money on the tailor.
The king summoned his courtiers and said to them, "well, isn't my dress really nice?" The ministers were shocked, but they all praised him with one voice: "wow, what a noble dress! Your majesty, it really suits you." The compliments were paid insincerely.
The king, in his new clothes, walked triumphantly out of the palace and into the streets. As he walked along, the king looked at the crowd on either side and thought, "this dress of mine is for the wise. The unintelligent cannot see it. How many of these people can see it?
In fact, all people see is a naked, only a pair of underwear of the king. But no one dared to say it, for no one would admit that he was a fool. Just then a little boy ran out of the crowd, pointed at the king, laughed and said, "ha ha ha! Then he pointed to the king's stomach and said, "wow, your stomach is so big. Don't you wear clothes? Aren't you afraid of catching cold?"
The crowd by the side of the road couldn't help laughing when they heard the boy's laughter. They all thought it was funny.
"Bad, I was cheated, have no new clothes at all! Too shameful." The king took the boy by the hand and hurried back to the palace. The crowd was worried that the boy would be punished by the king. Instead of punishing the boy, the king gave him many gifts and praised him, saying, "you are an honest boy. You are the only one in the kingdom who has told me the truth and made me see that I am a fool." By this time, of course, luigi and Carla had already run off with a fistful of COINS.
After this lesson, the king was determined to be a good king who worked hard and loved his people. He no longer liked to wear beautiful new clothes.
