Telling the truth

—Why do you like to laugh at? I like to laugh at cartoons,for they’re lovely and fun.

I like to laugh at fairy tales. They are amusing and interesting. Many years ago there lived an Emperor who was so exceedingly fond of fine new clothes that he spent vast sums of money on dress. To him clothes meant more than anything else in the world. He took no interest in his army, nor did he care to go to the theatre, or to drive about in his state coach, unless it was to display his new clothes. He had different robes for every single hour of the day. III. Reading 1. Reading aloud to the recording
