The tailors pretended that the cloth was real, as they showed it to the king.  The king and the fine-spoken subjects could not see anything before them. But,  none of them could show that they could not see it.

The king and his fine-spoken subjects just looked at each other. Then, the  tailor quickly spoke in a arrogant manner. "Well, is there no honest man here?  How can you look at this beautiful cloth and not praise it."

   Among the subjects, one of them made a flattering comment out loud. "Wow!  This is the first time that I have seen such a wonderful cloth." All the  subjects tried to be the first to praise the cloth. Then, the king was amazed  with the beauty of the cloth, too.
