people who were foolish or who were occupying the wrong place in life.
The emperor liked this offer and he decided to have a dress made of this cloth. He gave a lot of money to the tricksters and asked them to start their work as fast as possible. They pretended that they were weaving and then told everybody that they were sewing. The ministers and the court were all afraid of looking foolish or occupying the wrong place in life. They told the emperor that they had seen the beautiful cloth with their own eyes and that they liked it very much.
Finally the day came, when the tricksters said that the new clothes for the emperor were ready. They pretended that they put it on the emperor and complimented it for its pattern and cut. The court admired the dress all together although they could see nothing. This way the emperor went out to the public wearing just underclothes. Nobody wanted to admit that they saw nothing.
During the emperor's procession only one child exclaimed: 'Look, he is naked! And everybody heard the boy.
The adults understood that he was right. Only the innocent child could open everybody's eyes to the trick.

THE CHILD HAS THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND RELIGION
Rudyard Kipling. The Jungle Book
In the evening, when Father Wolf was preparing to search for prey, Jackal Tabaki appeared near the entrance to his cave. He told that that night Sher Khan the tiger was going to hunt in the same mountains. There was a chilly, malicious, prolonged growling of the tiger that had caught nothing. The Mother Wolf covered her four wolf-cubs with her big grey muzzle and she realized that that night the tiger was hunting not for a deer or bull, but for a human. But The Jungle Law forbade chasing humans without any necessity.
Then there was a noise near the cave, the Wolf was ready to jump, but he was amazed when he saw a very little human who could hardly stand on his feet. The little boy smiled and The Mother Wolf decided to save him from the tiger's claws. She accepted him into their family and called the boy Mowgli.
