BR 2-17: The Emperor's New Clothes

"People will talk about the emperor for years to come." (Anderson, 2007, p.47)

This story is famous. I have heard the title but I read it for the first time.
Two confidence men said that they can make clothes which only clever people can see. They show a cloth, sure king can't see it. But the king pretend to can see the cloth because he don't want people to think that he is not clever. And his valet said can see it too. His soldier too. People in the town too. And then, the king walked in the city with no cloth. The naked king and people can't see clothes but everyone didn't say about that. But one boy said that the king is naked. 
The naked king meaning person who don't put person who say candid advice to oneself near myself.
