relax relax why do you say your  boss is the worst boss ever
1
10200
6840
00:19
because he is he never listens to  anybody he always thinks he's right
2

00:29
um let me tell you a little story  son maybe later you will understand
3

00:38
once upon a time there was a king  who was obsessed with his appearance  
4
38940
6480
00:46
rather than worrying about the finances of  his kingdom or training his soldiers or War
5
46260
9060
00:58
instead spent hours dreaming about clothes  he spent all the kingdoms a spare income on  
6
58680
8460
01:07
new clothes and his wardrobe was so big that  it was practically another country in itself
7
67140
8580
01:19
he never visited the theater or went hunting  except to show off a new outfit and instead of  
8
79020
9060
01:28
the words the king is in the council the phrase  the king is in his wardrobe was regularly heard
9
88080
8280
01:39
so the people of the Kingdom wore all dirty  clothes with no hope of comparing to the  
10
99600
7260
01:46
king's fine outfits the soldiers were left  with sticks and Rusty with swords or weapons
11
106860
8880
02:00
and the King's council did all the ruling  for him this worked out quite well as the  
12
120180
8280
02:08
council knew far more about ruling a kingdom  than the king had ever shown an interest in
13
128460
8340
02:20
things ran smoothly more or less until  one dark day a pair of brothers came to  
14
140820
7560
02:28
the castle claiming to be skillful Weavers in  fact these men were no Weavers but tricksters  
15
148380
10380
02:40
however as soon as the king heard that there were  Weavers in the castle he demanded to see them  
16
160620
8040
02:49
my dear King said the first brother we  have traveled through the whole country
17
169320
6960
03:00
and we have heard all sorts of  stories about your fantastic outfits  
18
180960
5640
03:07
you have said the kin satisfied that his  efforts were being seen how wonderful
19
187380
9960
03:21
we have a proposal said the second brother  we wish to weave you a beautiful outfit  
20
201660
7920
03:30
so that your Fame might spread not only  to our kingdom but to the whole world
21
210180
7380
03:41
the whole world said the king why that  would be a wonderful idea wouldn't it  
22
221580
7860
03:49
it turned to his console who  seemed less thrilled by this idea
23
229980
7080
04:02
if the other kings and queens  hear that I have such an outfit  
24
242400
5820
04:09
they will think we are rich to spend money  on such things they will surely not attack us
25
249060
10080
04:22
it will not just be great said the first brother  it will be a magical we can live a magic thread  
26
262620
9120
04:31
that is only visible to those who deserve to  see it anyone who is stupid or unfit for office
27
271740
8700
04:42
will not be able to see that threat  the King was delighted by this  
28
282660
6780
04:49
what a brilliant idea Not only would his  outfit make him famous around the world
29
289440
10020
05:03
it could allow him to see which of his  men were unfit for office and distinguish  
30
303060
7440
05:10
between those who were wise and those who were  foolish I will waste no time said the king
31
310500
9000
05:23
tell me what do you need to create this  wonderful outfit so the tricksters ask  
32
323460
8760
05:32
for two huge bags of silk and gold and a room  to work in there they set up two great Looms  
33
332220
10080
05:43
and got down to pretending to work they did not  put any silk or gold into the Looms instead hiding  
34
343620
10080
05:53
it in their own bags but they moved their hands  through the air as if they were preparing Looms  
35
353700
7680
06:03
then they worked their machines  making a great deal of noise and  
36
363240
7380
06:10
capturing much of the Castle's attention  even though the Looms were quiet empty
37
370620
8760
06:23
a few days later the king wished to  know how the two Weavers were getting on  
38
383100
6120
06:29
he had been inspired by his morning visit to his  wardrobe amongst the roles of beautiful clothes
39
389820
10500
06:43
he found one outfit which was being eaten by moths  
40
403320
4680
06:48
Warriors that can declare that all  moths in the Kingdom must be killed  
41
408540
6840
06:55
and that anyone who'd failed to kill  the moth could faced death themselves
42
415920
5460
07:03
after calming down the king realized that there  were might not just be moths in his wardrobe  
43
423600
7380
07:10
but mods in his console as well men who seemed  good and wise but in reality were eating away
44
430980
9120
07:23
at the Kingdom so what better time to send  his Council to view the outfit in progress  
45
443520
7560
07:31
the Weavers magic thread could soon  tell his men were unfit or office
46
451740
7740
07:43
first he sent his minister to check up on  the rivers the minister walked in confidently  
47
463920
9180
07:54
sure that he would see the cloth without  difficulty however he immediately found himself  
48
474060
7920
08:03
standing in front of an empty Loom with the  two Weavers working away on the other side  
49
483660
7080
08:11
my God thought the minister can it be  that I am stupid no but in that case
50
491700
9660
08:24
I must be unfit for office dear minister  cried the brothers passing their work thank  
51
504360
10860
08:35
you for coming and checking on us come  closer so you can see the cloth better
52
515220
6240
08:44
the minister walked forward pretending to stare  at the cloth tell us do you like this design  
53
524280
8760
08:53
and what about these colors they spoke for  a long time about the details of the cloth
54
533760
8220
09:04
making up technical names for things and asking  what the minister thought he merely nodded and  
55
544560
8700
09:13
said that he thought they were beautiful and  to make sure they did not realize his lie
56
553260
7800
09:24
he asked for the names of the patterns  and colors so that he might tell the king  
57
564720
8220
09:33
Oh and before you go said the brothers  just as the minister was living
58
573900
7680
09:45
could we have more silk and gold we're running  out quite quickly so the minister gave the message  
59
585300
7320
09:52
to the king who gave more silk and gold to the  tricksters which went straight into their own bags
60
592620
9000
10:05
satisfied that his Minister was fit for office  the king sent an advisor to check a few days later  
61
605700
8460
10:15
the advisor was just as confident of  his ability to see the magic thread
62
615180
6840
10:25
and when he stepped into the room and saw  the empty Loom he was gripped with panic  
63
625080
7800
10:33
if I tell the king the truth I  will surely lose my head he thought
64
633600
6660
10:45
so he made sure to stare at the loom and  spoke loudly of how beautiful the cloth was  
65
645120
8640
10:54
and how he must tell the whole city about  it the Weavers asked him plenty of questions
66
654600
8160
11:05
pretending to be deeply concerned about the  quality of the outfit finally asking for more silk  
67
665340
9180
11:14
and gold as the advisor was living the advisor  announced the news of the magic cloth to the city
68
674520
8940
11:25
and rumors spread past everyone was  waiting excitedly to see the outfit  
69
685860
7500
11:34
so that they might distinguish which of their  neighbors were foolish or unfit for office
70
694200
8040
11:45
finally the king decided that  his mob killing plan could wait  
71
705900
5940
11:52
as he was eager to see the cloth himself he went  to The Rivers room with his console and naturally
72
712380
10860
12:06
all they saw were empty Looms but  nobody there said a word in front  
73
726300
7500
12:13
of the king the king himself was quiet  shocked when he could not see the cloth
74
733800
9240
12:26
does this mean I am not fit to be king I wondered  but how can it be I have ruled so well all my life  
75
746640
11460
12:38
but I wonder my Council has  always done most of the work  
76
758940
5760
12:46
and isn't that the job of a king to  be a figure for the people to admire  
77
766500
6300
12:53
whilst they carefully selected Council does  all the work I must not speak a war of this or
78
773580
9900
13:07
the kingdom will fall apart so the king  said the cloth looked wonderful and clapped  
79
787080
7680
13:14
the Weavers on the back and told him he would  give them as much silk and gold as they needed
80
794760
8580
13:27
the rest of the council laughed and  smiled along with him all commenting  
81
807840
7740
13:35
on the delightful colors and patterns although  each person seemed to mention a different color
82
815580
8160
13:47
yes yes you have done and most excellent job  said the king in fact we must hold a parade  
83
827880
9840
13:57
there we will show off the new outfit  and afterwards you will be United
84
837720
7140
14:08
the tricksters malts fall open what an honor  to be knighted they cried our king is too kind  
85
848280
10440
14:19
the night before the parade the Weavers  stayed up working burning hundreds of candles
86
859500
6720
14:28
then they pulled off the cloth cut it  with scissors and sew it with needles  
87
868620
7200
14:36
although of course all they were really  doing was cutting and sealing air
88
876720
7680
14:48
in the morning the tricksters came before  The King holding up the pieces of invisible  
89
888480
7140
14:55
clothing one by one here are your new trousers  my king they said and they helped the king
90
895620
10080
15:09
into his invisible trousers  
91
909000
3000
15:13
here is your new scarf my king they said and  they helped the king into his invisible scarf
92
913740
12300
15:28
and also they helped the king into his  invisible cape the thread is so light that  
93
928680
8400
15:37
you will not even feel it they explained  why it is as light as air the king cried
94
937080
9000
15:48
the Weavers took the king in front of a mirror  where he stood completely naked but they looked  
95
948900
8040
15:56
him up and down as if examining a fine piece of  clothing commenting on how excellent he looked
96
956940
9000
16:09
oh but there is one problem said the tricksters  someone will need to carry your train  
97
969600
8340
16:18
so the king ordered some of his men to  stand behind him and carry his train
98
978600
6720
16:29
but of course they were just holding air  the parade began and all the people of  
99
989760
7800
16:37
the city pushed into the streets and leaned  out of Windows to see the King's new clothes
100
997560
9660
16:50
of course their walls really nothing to see  but nobody wanted to admit to being stupid  
101
1010400
9120
16:59
or unfit for office so the people cried  out about how wonderful the king looked
102
1019520
8220
17:10
finally a young girl saw the king and she could  not understand what everyone was talking about  
103
1030980
7380
17:19
but he's naked she said pointing the king is naked  the little girl's words spread like an illness  
104
1039380
9840
17:31
and like moths to a flame the people all  began to commend on the King's new clothes  
105
1051200
7380
17:39
or the lack of them soon comments turn to louder  and people began to openly make fun of the king
106
1059360
9660
17:51
it does not matter he thought to himself so the  people of the city are stupid what a surprise  
107
1071420
8760
18:01
I know I look excellent when the parade  was over the king returned to his castle
108
1081080
7800
18:11
to find the Weavers ignite them but the  two tricksters were nowhere to be found  
109
1091700
8040
18:20
hello where have those two gone they had  disappeared the moment the parade had started
110
1100520
8280
18:31
and so the king stood naked in the middle of his  castle never having felt so stupid in his life  
111
1111740
8820
18:41
now do you understand what is this  story about the king is like your boss
112
1121640
7380
18:51
he always thinks he's right and he doesn't  listen to anyone but soon he will be in a  
113
1131480
7320
18:58
situation where he will look like a fool  in front of everyone so don't worry son
