emperor new clothes 2

I wrote this in my old blog 2 years ago on june 11... :


The story was about an emperor who wanted to wear a something special to show his people, that was when 2 trickers came in and to make a new clothes for him using materials so light and can only be seen by clever people.


Of course, the emperor couldn't see any clothes as there was no clothes made at all. While he was showing off his new clothes to his people, a little boy cried out that he was not wearing any clothes at all, that was when everyone started laughing at the emperor.There are a few things that i don't feel right about this story.


1) if the emperor himself couldn't see the clothes, that means that there bound to be others not able to see the clothes as it "can only be seen by clever people". If that is the case, why did he wear the clothes out in the first place? there confirm to be some not so clever people around in his kingdom.


2) if the boy was the only one who pointed out that the emperor was not wearing any clothes. The emperor or any other people can just say that the boy was not clever, so cannot see the beautiful clothes. Why the people need to change their initial action of praising the clothes to laughing at the emperor ne?


3) even if everybody is laughing at the emperor, it can just be that all of them are not so clever lor. If he have faith in the trickers to make his clothes and choose to believe them in the first place. Why was he embarressed and feel that he was tricked in the end? he could have stick to his own belief and continue to show his new clothes around.Hence because of that, i feel that the conclusion of the story should be "u know something was wrong then don't do it, you know its right then do it and stick to it. Its sometimes so silly that some people know that it is wrong yet that still continue with it and vice versa."



Today, the literture teacher told me her version of her story:

The story was about an emperor who wanted to wear a something special to show his people. All the people within the kingdom wanted to use this as an opportunity to earn quick money that they sent 2 trickers to make a new clothes for him using new materials.

Despite the initial skepticism from the emperor, everyone around him insisted that the new clothes looked exceptionally good on him. They were so convincing that the emperor really believed them.

The emperor was living in a lie. Everyone around him was deceiving him. Soon he was unable to listen to his own heart screaming for help. Instead he could only hear the lies masquarade beneath the smiling faces around.

I felt sorry for the emperor.
