The King’s son and his friends

Once upon a time, there were four boys who walked together. The first one was a king’s

son, the second one was a merchant’s son, the third was a sheriff’s son and he was very

handsome, and the forth was plowman’s son. They were in wasteland where no food or

water and they were very tired and have nothing except their clothes on their bodies.

While they were walking, they were thinking in the situation they forced to face and every

one was thinking according to his lifestyle.

The king’s son said: “what happened in our whole life is just a destiny and what was

written for anyone in the sky will come for him, he should be patient and in waiting for his

destiny and that is the best thing anybody should do”.

The merchant’s son said: “the intelligence and well-thinking is the best thing that god

gave us ”, and sheriff’s son said: “ the beauty is better than anything you said”. Then, the

plowman’s son said: “nothing in the life is better than working hard for yourself’. When

they arrived city called Matroun, they sat down and started to consult each other. After

that, they said to the plowman’s son: “go and work hard to gain us some food for us in

this day”. He went and started to look for work to get food for his friends, the people in

this city told him that is never in this land better to work in than the firewood. The

plowman’s son went and gather one ton of firewood, and sold it with one dirham, then

he bought some food for his friend and wrote upon the city gate: “if you work hard in one

day you will get a dirham”. Then he went to his friends with the food.

In the second day, they said to the one who said the beauty is the best thing in life: “it is

your day, you should go and buy us some food for this day”. The sheriff’s son went to the

town, and said to himself: “I don’t know how to work well in any thing, so why I should go

there?” then he felt shame to come beck to his friends without any food in his hands and

planned to depart them. After that he reposed under a large tree until fall asleep. A noble

man in the town passed by him and admired him. He felt that this boy looks like a sheriff

and felt sorry about him, then he gave him fife thousands dirhams. The sheriff’s son

wrote upon the town’s gate: “the beauty of one day is equal fife thousands dirhams” then

came back to his friends.

In the third day, they said to the merchant’s son: “go and bring us some food by your

intelligence and business”. He went to the town and watched merchant ships arrived the

port, and the merchants wanted to buy what the goods the ships have. They sat down

and started to consult each other in the side of the port, and said to each other: “we

won’t buy any thing this day from them until they cheapen the goods, even we need it”.

The merchant’s son cross the road and went to the owners of the ships, then bought the

goods with one hundred dinars as a debt, and showed them that he want to transfer his

goods to another town. When the other merchants heard that, they felt fear if this goods

go away from their hands, and gave him double of this one hundred. Then he came back

to his friends with money after he wrote upon the gate: “intelligence of one day gives you

one hundred dirhams”.

In the forth day, they said to the king’s son: “go and get us some money with what you

believe about destiny”. He walked until he arrived city’s gate and sat down there. In this

moment, the king of this land, who was not have children or any relatives, died. The

people were carrying the king’s funeral and every one is sad except our friend the king’s

son. They deprecated him, the gatekeeper cursed him and said to him: “who are you?,

why are you sitting here? and even not feel sad about our king heath?”, then the

gatekeeper forced him to move away from the gate. When they went, the boy returned

and sat down in that place again. After that, When they came back after burying the king,

the gatekeeper saw him again, got angry, and said to him: “I warned you from sitting

here. don’t I ?”, then he took him to the prison. In the morning of the next day, the

people of the city met and consulted who will be the king after the last dead king, and

were be really confused. The gatekeeper said to them: “ I saw a boy sitting beside the

gate yesterday, he doesn’t look sad about our king death, I talked to him and he said

nothing until I asked him to move away, and when I came back I saw him sitting in the

same place, and I putting him in the prison. The noble men in the city sent someone to

the boy to come, they asked him about who is he and why is he in this city. He told them:

“ I’m the son of Fwairan king, and when my father died, my brother took the kingdom

from me, I was afraid and I escaped away to protect myself until I arrived to this land”.

When the boy said that, the people knew him and praised his father and his government.

Then the noble men in the town chose him to be the king of the town, and carried him

upon the white elephant and wandered him around the city as their custom when new

king governs them. When he passed by the gate and saw what was written there he asked

them to write there: “the hard work, beauty, intelligence and what happened to the man

in his life whether it is good or bad, is his destiny from the God, and I became more

honored and admired because of what the God gives me not any thing else. After that, he

went to his palace and brought his friends, and put the intelligent one with ministers, the

hard worker with the farmers, and he gave the handsome one a lot of money and

deported him out the country in order to no one be fascinated by him. After that, the new

king called all scientists and philosophers and said to them: “ you have to believe that

what God gives me is because of the destiny and what was written for me before my

birth, not because of beauty, intelligence or hard work. When my brother sent me away I

didn’t even expect to get my food not to be the king, because I thought there are many

people in the world who are handsome, intelligent and work hard more than me, but my

destiny led me to this rank”. There was old man among the crowd who stood and said:

“you speak wisely and you are here because of your wisdom, you made our hopes of you

become true, we believe you and what God gave you and what you gain you deserve it,

and the happiest one in life who is god gives him the wisdom and well-behaving”.

The Emperor's New Suit Hans Christian Andersen

Many, many years ago lived an emperor, who thought so much of new clothes

that he spent all his money in order to obtain them; his only ambition was to be

always well dressed. He did not care for his soldiers, and the theatre did not amuse

him; the only thing, in fact, he thought anything of was to drive out and show a

new suit of clothes. He had a coat for every hour of the day; and as one would say

of a king "He is in his cabinet," so one could say of him, "The emperor is in his

dressing-room."

The great city where he resided was very gay; every day many strangers from

all parts of the globe arrived. One day two swindlers came to this city; they made

people believe that they were weavers, and declared they could manufacture the

finest cloth to be imagined. Their colours and patterns, they said, were not only

exceptionally beautiful, but the clothes made of their material possessed the

wonderful quality of being invisible to any man who was unfit for his office or

unpardonably stupid.

"That must be wonderful cloth," thought the emperor. "If I were to be dressed

in a suit made of this cloth I should be able to find out which men in my empire

were unfit for their places, and I could distinguish the clever from the stupid. I

must have this cloth woven for me without delay." And he gave a large sum of

money to the swindlers, in advance, that they should set to work without any loss

of time. They set up two looms, and pretended to be very hard at work, but they

did nothing whatever on the looms. They asked for the finest silk and the most

precious gold-cloth; all they got they did away with, and worked at the empty

looms till late at night.

"I should very much like to know how they are getting on with the cloth,"

thought the emperor. But he felt rather uneasy when he remembered that he who

was not fit for his office could not see it. Personally, he was of opinion that he had

nothing to fear, yet he thought it advisable to send somebody else first to see how

matters stood. Everybody in the town knew what a remarkable quality the stuff

possessed, and all were anxious to see how bad or stupid their neighbours were.

< 2 >

"I shall send my honest old minister to the weavers," thought the emperor. "He

can judge best how the stuff looks, for he is intelligent, and nobody understands

his office better than he."

The good old minister went into the room where the swindlers sat before the

empty looms. "Heaven preserve us!" he thought, and opened his eyes wide, "I

cannot see anything at all," but he did not say so. Both swindlers requested him to

come near, and asked him if he did not admire the exquisite pattern and the

beautiful colours, pointing to the empty looms. The poor old minister tried his

very best, but he could see nothing, for there was nothing to be seen. "Oh dear,"

he thought, "can I be so stupid? I should never have thought so, and nobody must

know it! Is it possible that I am not fit for my office? No, no, I cannot say that I

was unable to see the cloth."

"Now, have you got nothing to say?" said one of the swindlers, while he

pretended to be busily weaving.

"Oh, it is very pretty, exceedingly beautiful," replied the old minister looking

through his glasses. "What a beautiful pattern, what brilliant colours! I shall tell

the emperor that I like the cloth very much."

"We are pleased to hear that," said the two weavers, and described to him the

colours and explained the curious pattern. The old minister listened attentively,

that he might relate to the emperor what they said; and so he did.

Now the swindlers asked for more money, silk and gold-cloth, which they

required for weaving. They kept everything for themselves, and not a thread came

near the loom, but they continued, as hitherto, to work at the empty looms.

Soon afterwards the emperor sent another honest courtier to the weavers to see

how they were getting on, and if the cloth was nearly finished. Like the old

minister, he looked and looked but could see nothing, as there was nothing to be

seen.

"Is it not a beautiful piece of cloth?" asked the two swindlers, showing and

explaining the magnificent pattern, which, however, did not exist.

"I am not stupid," said the man. "It is therefore my good appointment for

which I am not fit. It is very strange, but I must not let any one know it;" and he

praised the cloth, which he did not see, and expressed his joy at the beautiful

colours and the fine pattern. "It is very excellent," he said to the emperor.

Everybody in the whole town talked about the precious cloth. At last the

emperor wished to see it himself, while it was still on the loom. With a number of

courtiers, including the two who had already been there, he went to the two clever

swindlers, who now worked as hard as they could, but without using any thread.

"Is it not magnificent?" said the two old statesmen who had been there before.

"Your Majesty must admire the colours and the pattern." And then they pointed to

the empty looms, for they imagined the others could see the cloth.

"What is this?" thought the emperor, "I do not see anything at all. That is

terrible! Am I stupid? Am I unfit to be emperor? That would indeed be the most

dreadful thing that could happen to me."

"Really," he said, turning to the weavers, "your cloth has our most gracious

approval;" and nodding contentedly he looked at the empty loom, for he did not

like to say that he saw nothing. All his attendants, who were with him, looked and

looked, and although they could not see anything more than the others, they said,

like the emperor, "It is very beautiful." And all advised him to wear the new

magnificent clothes at a great procession which was soon to take place. "It is

magnificent, beautiful, excellent," one heard them say; everybody seemed to be

delighted, and the emperor appointed the two swindlers "Imperial Court weavers."

The whole night previous to the day on which the procession was to take place,

the swindlers pretended to work, and burned more than sixteen candles. People

should see that they were busy to finish the emperor's new suit. They pretended to

take the cloth from the loom, and worked about in the air with big scissors, and

sewed with needles without thread, and said at last: "The emperor's new suit is

ready now."

The emperor and all his barons then came to the hall; the swindlers held their

arms up as if they held something in their hands and said: "These are the

trousers!" "This is the coat!" and "Here is the cloak!" and so on. "They are all as

light as a cobweb, and one must feel as if one had nothing at all upon the body;

but that is just the beauty of them."

"Indeed!" said all the courtiers; but they could not see anything, for there was

nothing to be seen.

"Does it please your Majesty now to graciously undress," said the swindlers,

"that we may assist your Majesty in putting on the new suit before the large

looking-glass?"

The emperor undressed, and the swindlers pretended to put the new suit upon

him, one piece after another; and the emperor looked at himself in the glass from

every side.

"How well they look! How well they fit!" said all. "What a beautiful pattern!

What fine colours! That is a magnificent suit of clothes!"

The master of the ceremonies announced that the bearers of the canopy, which

was to be carried in the procession, were ready.

"I am ready," said the emperor. "Does not my suit fit me marvellously?" Then

he turned once more to the looking-glass, that people should think he admired his

garments.

The chamberlains, who were to carry the train, stretched their hands to the

ground as if they lifted up a train, and pretended to hold something in their hands;

they did not like people to know that they could not see anything.

The emperor marched in the procession under the beautiful canopy, and all

who saw him in the street and out of the windows exclaimed: "Indeed, the

emperor's new suit is incomparable! What a long train he has! How well it fits

him!" Nobody wished to let others know he saw nothing, for then he would have

been unfit for his office or too stupid. Never emperor's clothes were more

admired.

"But he has nothing on at all," said a little child at last. "Good heavens! listen

to the voice of an innocent child," said the father, and one whispered to the other

what the child had said. "But he has nothing on at all," cried at last the whole

people. That made a deep impression upon the emperor, for it seemed to him that

they were right; but he thought to himself, "Now I must bear up to the end." And

the chamberlains walked with still greater dignity, as if they carried the train

which did not exist.
