BR1-01 The Emperor's New Clothes


This is a story of emperor who has big pride. This story is composed of 5 chapters. It may be funny story. I think this story is also famous in Japan. Main characters are the emperor, his servant Boris and the finest clothes-makers Slimus and Slick.

Long time ago, there was an emperor who loved clothes. He always wanted new clothes and wanted to show off his nice clothes. One day, he has nothing to wear. Then, the emperor made his servant, Boris, find the finest clothes-makers. Boris agreed against his will. In a few days, Boris took two men to the emperor. They were Slimus and Slick. They said “We are the finest clothes-makers in the world.” And they suggested making magical clothes to the emperor. It can be seen by clever people. The emperor was so excited and paid much money to them. Few days later, they finished making magical clothes. But they told the emperor a lie. There was nothing magical clothes in the world. And they pretended to help the emperor into magical clothes. The emperor couldn’t see anything, but he couldn’t tell so. Because he believed he was not foolish. So, he was naked then. The naked man went to the royal procession. “He is naked!” a whisper whizzed through the crowd soon. The emperor held his head high and walked more proudly than ever.

To be honest is important. This is what I learned from this story. It’s very interesting. I like this story.
