No one wished it to be noticed that he could see nothing , for then he would have been unfit for his office , or else very stupid . None of the Emperor 's clothes had met with such approval as these had . ` But he has nothing on ! ' said a little child at last . ` Just listen to the innocent child ! ' said the father , and each one whispered to his neighbour what the child had said . ` But he has nothing on ! ' the whole of the people called out at last . This struck the Emperor , for it seemed to him as if they were right ; but he thought to himself , ' I must go on with the procession now . And the chamberlains walked along still more uprightly , holding up the train which was not there at all . THE GOLDEN CRAB -LRB- 5 -RRB- -LRB- 5 -RRB- ` Prinz Krebs , ' from Griechische Mahrchen . Schmidt . Once upon a time there was a fisherman who had a wife and three children . Every morning he used to go out fishing , and whatever fish he caught he sold to the King . One day , among the other fishes , he caught a golden crab . When he came home he put all the fishes together into a great dish , but he kept the Crab separate because it shone so beautifully , and placed it upon a high shelf in the cupboard . Now while the old woman , his wife , was cleaning the fish , and had tucked up her gown so that her feet were visible , she suddenly heard a voice , which said : ` Let down , let down thy petticoat That lets thy feet be seen . ' She turned round in surprise , and then she saw the little creature , the Golden Crab . ` What ! You can speak , can you , you ridiculous crab ? '
she said , for she was not quite pleased at the XXXXX 's remarks .
