The emperor also turned his body toward the mirror and he pretended to be pleased. The minister said: a perfect fit! How nice! Wonderful!
The procession began. All the ministers touched the ground with their hands as if they were holding the clothes. The people, standing along the sides of the street said: oh! The clothes of the emperor are so nice! It is a wonder! Because nobody
wanted to say they couldn't see anything for no one was willing to be a fool. However, a little child saw the emperor and he cried out: Oh! The emperor has nothing on!
Yes, what the child said was true. The emperor indeed had nothing on. The words of the child spread... The people said: the emperor is naked! The emperor began to tremble because he thought what the people said was right. But he didn't want it to be known that he was wrong. So he showed off an arrogant air and walked on. Following him, the minister held the pretend robe.
