The story goes something like this:
The King was wearing transparent clothes. Specially made. Exclusively for him. His tailor told him that these were the only clothes in the world.
All his minsters said that Emperor's clothes were excellent.
He felt wonderful in these exclusively transparent and wrinkle free clothes.
None had courage to speak the truth.
Because it was rule of the King to punish those who tell him unpleasant truth. Everyone was supposed speak only nice things to King to get rewards and promotions.
When the King's procession was passing through his city, when he was wearing these beautiful transparent clothes, suddenly a young boy shouted, "King is nude".
The Truth needs only one right moment to come out.
And thereafter even all the ministers of King, could not suppress or hide the truth that the King was naked and he was fooled by his tailors.
Look around and you will find dozens of Politicians wearing Emperor's Clothes.
