Emperor’s New Clothes is an alternate version of an old Spanish story

About Hans Christian Anderson:

Hans Christian Anderson wrote an alternate version to an old Spanish story.

It’s the Emperor’s New Clothes.

In the ORIGINAL Spanish version, the only people who could see the cloth were “sons of their fathers”…meaning anyone who couldn’t see the cloth was illegitimate.

And, considering most people’s ranks or stations depended on birth, they had to claim they saw the cloth to keep their job, rank, or title.
