Many years ago, there was an Dog Emperor who reigned over the entire neighborhood. He was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in canine couture. He had a different outfit for every occasion, made only from the finest materials and the most beautiful colors and elaborate patterns. Time passed merrily in the neighborhood kingdom. One day, two scoundrels, who claimed to be good friends of his humans, and weavers by trade, appeared at the Dog Emperor’s front door. They offered to make the Dog Emperor an all new wardrobe. They claimed that the clothing would remain invisible to any one who was simple in character or not worthy of the crown.
The dishonest people appeared to work busily, though in reality they did nothing at all. They kept the fine materials and gold thread for their own, and they clothed the Dog Emperor in deceit, and nothingness. “How splendid His Majesty looks in his new clothes, and how well they fit! You will be the best dressed dog in the park.”
So the Dog Emperor walked through the streets of his neighborhood kingdom, his loyal servant humans at his side, and all the people who passed him cried out “Oh! This dog is so beautiful, so regal.” Indeed, simple-minded humans could not see his clothing, nor did they care. They were quite content with the Dog Emperor scantily dressed in only his fur coat. And when a dog passerby commented, “But the Dog Emperor is naked!” His Majesty was completely humiliated.
The dogs in the neighborhood would no longer be fooled by their people. From that day forward, all of the dogs in the neighborhood kingdom insisted that they be clothed only in the finest canine couture.
