<P> A vain emperor who cares about nothing except wearing and displaying clothes hires weavers who promise him they will make him the best suit of clothes . The weavers are con - men who convince the emperor they are using a fine fabric invisible to anyone who is either unfit for his position or `` hopelessly stupid '' . The con lies in that the weavers are actually only pretending to manufacture the clothes ; they are making make - believe clothes which they mime . Thus , no one , not even the emperor nor his ministers can see the alleged `` clothes '' , but pretend that they can for fear of appearing unfit for their positions , and the emperor does the same . Finally , the weavers report that the suit is finished , they mime dressing him , and the emperor marches in procession before his subjects . The townsfolk uncomfortably go along with the pretense , not wanting to appear unfit for their positions or stupid . Then , a child in the crowd , too young to understand the desirability of keeping up the pretense , blurts out that the emperor is wearing nothing at all , and the cry is taken up by others . The emperor realizes the assertion is true but continues the procession . </P>
