   The Naked King

 
  Long, long time ago, there lived a very fancy king. The king changed his clothes 12 times a day. He really liked to show off to his subjects. "My clothes are the best in the world."
 
  One day, two tailors planned a trick. "Why don't we teach that stupid and extravagant king a lesson. He doesn't even worry about his starving peo." "That's right! He thinks he's the best."
 
  The two men went to see the king. "Oh, the world's most marvelous king! We have brought the most beautiful cloth in the whole world." "However, not everyone is able to see the cloth. Those that tell lies and have bad hearts are not able to see this fine cloth."
 
  After the king heard those words, he became very interested. "Could there really be such a cloth? If I can make clothes out of those cloths, my clothes will be the best in the whole world. Hurry and show me the cloth." The king began to get more and more greedy.
 
  The tailors pretended that the cloth was real, as they showed it to the king. The king and the fine-spoken subjects could not see anything before them. But, none of them could show that they could not see it.
 
  The king and his fine-spoken subjects just looked at each other. Then, the tailor quickly spoke in a arrogant manner. "Well, is there no honest man here? How can you look at this beautiful cloth and not praise it."
 
  Among the subjects, one of them made a flattering comment out loud. "Wow! This is the first time that I have seen such a wonderful cloth." All the subjects tried to be the first to praise the cloth. Then, the king was amazed with the beauty of the cloth, too.
 
  The king gave the money and ordered them to make his clothes. For several days, the tailors pretended to be making the clothes. The king became worried and told one of his subjects to go and see how the clothes was coming along.
 
  The subject could not say how much the clothes had been comted. As hard as he looked, he could not see it. But, he could not say that he was unable to see it. Instead, he pretended to be amazed at how beautiful it was coming along.
 
  A few days later, the tailors came back with the King's clothes. "Here you are, try on this clothes." The king was not able to honestly say that he could not see the clothes. He, too, pretended to look over it.
 
  One man said, "Your majesty, lets go and show off this finest clothes in the world." The subjects all agreed at the same time. "Yes, that is a good idea."
 
  The king walked out to the street very proudly and walked with pride. All the peo in the land came out to see the king's new clothes. They were all surprised, though.
 
  Just then, a little girl shouted out, "Our king is naked!" Then everyone said,"He's naked, he's naked!"
 
  The king now realized the truth. However, with only his undergarments on, he still walked in a dignified manner. Even though he was embarrassed, he could not stop walking. Why not? Because he was the king.
  赤裸裸的国王
 
  很久很久以前,有一个非常奇特的国王。国王一天换了12次衣服。他真的很喜欢向他的臣民炫耀。“我的衣服是世界上 好的。”
 
  有一天,两个裁缝计划了一个小窍门。“我们为什么不教那个愚蠢而又奢侈的国王一课。”他甚至不用担心那些挨饿的人。”“没错!他认为他是 棒的。”
 
  那两个人去见国王。“哦,世界上 了不起的国王!”我们带来了世界上 美丽的布料。“然而,并不是每个人都能看到那块布。”那些说谎的人,有坏心肠的人,都看不出这块精美的布。”
 
  国王听了这些话后,变得非常感兴趣。“真的会有这样的布料吗?”如果我能用这些衣服做衣服,我的衣服就会是世界上 好的。快把布给我看看。国王开始变得越来越贪婪。
 
  裁缝们假装那布是真的,就像他们向国王展示的那样。国王和说话的人在他们面前什么也看不见。但是,没有一个人能证明他们是看不到的。
 
  国王和他说话的臣民只是互相看了看。然后,裁缝以傲慢的态度说话。“哦,这里没有诚实的人吗?”你怎么能看着这块漂亮的布,却不赞美它。”
 
  在实验对象中,有一个人大声地说了一声。“哇!这是我第一次看到这么漂亮的布。所有的人都试着成为第一个赞美这块布的人。然后,国王也对这布的美丽感到惊奇。
 
  国王把钱给了他,命令他们做他的衣服。几天来,裁缝们假装在做衣服。国王很着急,告诉他的一个臣民要去看看衣服是怎么来的。
 
  这个题目说不出这些衣服已经完成了多少。尽管他看起来很努力,但他看不见。但是,他不能说他看不出来。相反,他假装惊异于它的美丽。
 
  几天后,裁缝们带着国王的衣服回来了。“给你,穿上这件衣服。”国王不能诚实地说他看不出这些衣服。他也假装看了看。
 
  一个人说:“陛下,让我们去炫耀一下世界上 好的衣服吧。”“所有的人都在同一时间同意了。“是的,这是个好主意。”
 
  国王很骄傲地走到街上,骄傲地走着。全地的人都出来观看王的新衣服。不过,他们都很惊讶。
 
  就在这时,一个小女孩喊道:“我们的国王是裸体的!”然后每个人都说:“他是裸体的,他是裸体的!”
 
  国王现在知道了真相。然而,只有他的内衣,他仍然以一种高贵的姿态走着。尽管他很尴尬,但他还是忍不住走了。为什么不呢?因为他是国王。
