What is The Emperor's New Clothes about?

The Emperor loves beautiful clothes more than anything else. When two clever tricksters promise to make him a magnificent suit that only wise people can see, he cannot wait to wear it. His ministers and subjects pretend to admire the invisible clothes because they are afraid of looking foolish. At last, the Emperor proudly parades through the streets, until one honest child points out the truth. A funny retelling of the classic fairy tale about vanity, courage and telling the truth.
