Author: Hans Christian Andersen
Genre: Fairy Tales
Summary: The Emperor only liked the best of the best when it came to clothing. There were two swindlers that came into town saying that they could make the best of clothing. That their clothing was so perfect you had to be smart and fit for your job in order to see it. So they asked for a lot of money and the finest materials to make this for the Emperor. The Emperor was very excited but he wanted to make sure he was fit for his job, he wanted to be able to see the clothing which was being made for him. So, he sent a priest to go see the clothing. The priest could not see it but he lied cause he did not want to be unfit for his job. The Emperor had sent others as well and they did the same. Finally the finally product was done. The swindlers helped the Emperor put on his new out fit even though know one could see it and he walked through town so that he could show it off. When walking through town ever one pretended to see it except for a child that just shouted that he was not wearing anything. Then the rest of the town declared that they could not see it either.
Reaction: It was a little to predictable for it to be something that I enjoyed reading. You could tell from the beginning what was going to happen which still makes for a good story but not for this one it lacked meat or something to look forward to.
Potential Problems: We should not teach our readers that it is okay to lie just in order for others not to judge you.
Recommendation: This was not one of my favorite fairy tales so I don't think that I would recommend this for any one to read.
