He was a very jaunty little king -
wore his crown like that. Now, we'll just...

:04:05
Ah... No peeping.
:04:10
There we are.
:04:12
Long live the king!
:04:14
Long live the king!
:04:16
That's not a king.
It's only a queen with a moustache.

:04:22
Well, a lot of kings
are only a queen with a moustache.

:04:26
- We all believe it's a king, don't we?
- Yes!

:04:30
Since we have no clothes for the king,
:04:33
this is a story about a king
who had no clothes,

:04:36
and about a little boy
who only believed what he saw.

:04:40
That's you!
:04:44
Well, one day, two swindlers
came to see the king

:04:48
to sell him what they said
was a magic suit of clothes.

:04:52
Now, the king was very fond of new
clothes, so he said, "Let me see it."

:04:56
But there wasn't any suit of clothes.
The swindlers held up their hands like this

:05:01
and said,
"Your Majesty, this is a magic suit.

:05:04
"You, being very wise and intelligent,
can see how beautiful it is,

:05:09
"but to a fool, it is absolutely invisible."
:05:13
Well, he said, "I see."
:05:16
Not wanting to appear a fool, he added,
:05:18
"Yes, indeed. I see it perfectly.
:05:22
"It's beautiful.
:05:23
"Isn't it grand? Isn't it fine?
Look at the cut, the style, the line!

:05:28
"The suit of clothes is altogether
but altogether, it's altogether

:05:31
"The most remarkable suit of clothes
that I have ever seen

:05:34
"These eyes of mine at once determine
the sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine

:05:38
"The hose are blue and
the doublet is a lovely shade of green!"

:05:41
A lovely shade of green!
:05:44
"Somebody send for the queen!"
:05:46
The queen came and she was told
how all the wise people could see the...

:05:52
- Magic suit!
- That's right.

:05:55
Naturally, not wanting
to appear a fool, she said,

:05:59
"Oh! Isn't it grand?
