One of my favorite fairy tales from my childhood, probably because it is the one I remember most, is actually foundationally strong in Biblical truth. The Emperor’s New Clothes. It is a classic story by Hans Christian Andersen about a vain emperor who loves fashion. His desire for clothes is his weakness. This opens himself up to two swindlers, conmen who trick the king by claiming they can weave magical fabric that is invisible to those who are stupid or unfit for office. The emperor, his court, and the townspeople all pretend to see the non-existent clothes out of fear of appearing foolish. This goes on until a child overtly points out that the emperor is naked, revealing the collective delusion. The story is a parable about vanity, pride, ignorance and the importance of speaking truth in power. But I would argue that it is about something that is much more important.
