Favourite Fairy Tales
New Clothes
By Hans Christian Andersen
ong, long ago, there was a king who was very vain. He liked to wear
L only new and beautiful clothes. He did not care about his soldiers or
his servants. He only cared about his clothes.
Two crooks heard about the vain king.
"Hmm, the king only cares about new and beautiful clothes."
"He is so vain. Let's trick him!"
"How?"
"Let's pretend to sew some new clothes for the king. We will say that the clothes are
invisible only to foolish people."
