V . The Second Visit Some time later , the Emperor sends another man to the looms . He is an honest official from the palace . “ Go and see the weavers , ” says the Emperor . “ Is my cloth nearly ready ? Come back and tell me . ” The official walks to the weavers ’ room . On the way he thinks about the cloth . “ The old minister saw it , ” he thinks . “ He liked it very much . So I will see it too . It will be easy . ” He goes into the room . He looks at the looms . He looks and looks . But he sees nothing , because there is nothing to see . “ Is it not a lovely piece of cloth ? ” ask the two men . They show him the pattern with their hands . They tell him about the colours . But there is no pattern , and there are no colours . The official does not say a word . He is thinking . “ I am not stupid , ” he thinks . “ I know that . So the problem must be my job . I am not good enough for my job ! How strange . But nobody must know it . Nobody ! ” He smiles at the two men . “ Oh , yes ! ” he says . “ What a pretty pattern . And what lovely colours ! I like it very much . ” “ We are so glad , sir , ” say the two men . The official goes back to the palace . “ Well ? ” asks the Emperor . “ How is my cloth ? ” “ It is very , very fine , Your Majesty , ” says the official . The Emperor smiles . Two good men saw the cloth , and both of them liked it . Now the whole city talks about the cloth . Everyone knows about it . “ The old minister saw it , ” says a man in the market . “ He says the colours are lovely . ” “ The official from the palace saw it too , ” says another man . “ He says it is very fine . ” “ I want to see it , ” says a young girl . “ Maybe one day , ” says her mother . “ But first the Emperor must see it . ” VI . The Emperor at the Looms At last the Emperor wants to see the cloth himself . He wants to see it now , while it is still on the looms . He takes many men from the court with him . The old minister goes too , and so does the official from the palace . They all walk through the streets together . The people stop and look at them . “ Where is the Emperor going ? ” asks a boy . “ He is going to see his new cloth , ” says his father . The men from the court talk quietly on the way . “ Did you see the cloth ? ” one man asks the official . “ Oh , yes , ” says the official . “ It is very fine . ”
