以下是《國王的新衣》的英文版故事：
Once upon a time there was a king who was known for his foolishness. One day, two men came to him with a magical new outfit that would reveal the truth of a person's true wealth. The king was eager to try it on, and so the two men dressed him in the garb.
As they walked around the city, everyone pretended to see the king wearing only his "clothes of truth," but no one dared to admit it out loud. Finally, a child spoke up and said, "The king doesn't have any clothes on!"
The king was embarrassed and furious, realizing that he had been fooled by two cunning men. He ordered them to be executed, and from then on he tried to be more wise and discerning.
The moral of the story is that foolishness and vanity can lead us to do foolish things, and we should always be honest with ourselves and others.
