Once upon a time there lived a dictator who was quite a nasty and evil ruler. He locked up the prince charming and former cricket world cup winning captain and sacked all the honest judges in the country.
This nasty dictator cared only about himself and his clothes, he always wore the finest khaki military suits that his rupees could buy. Day and night, every day of the week the big bad nasty dictator always wore the same style of uniform although the colours would vary from khaki to various shades of blue and green.
One day he heard from the mastered tailors Bush & Bush that they could make him the finest suit of clothes from the most beautiful cloth available to mankind. This cloth, the tailor said, also had the special feature that it was invisible to anyone who was either stupid or not fit for his position.
Being a bit nervous about whether he himself would be able to see the cloth, the dictator sent two of his trusted generals to see it. Of course, neither would admit that they could not see the cloth and so praised it saying that this was the finest thing they had ever seen.
Despite the TV stations being off the air, word still got around and the people of this big land were very interested to learn about the dictator’s new suit. The big bad ugly ruler then allowed himself to be dressed in the new clothes for a procession through the city, after receiving a very large treasure chest full of dollars and gold from the evil witch Ms C Rice.
The dictator never admitting that he was too unfit and stupid to see what he was wearing, wore the new clothes and marched through the capital like a proud peacock.
Of course, under the state of emergency all the people wildly praised the magnificent clothes of the dictator, afraid to admit that they could not see them, until a small child shouted:
"But he has nothing on!"
This was whispered from person to person until everyone in the crowd was shouting that the dictator had nothing on! The nasty and evil dictator heard it and felt that they were correct, but still held his head high and continued the procession to the grand palace.
