The Naked King
Ama'aku Jonathan
Masari Henry

In a village named Masau, lived a king named Abednego. He loved wearing a new dress every day. He wanted clothes no one in the village had never seen before.

1

One day, he hired weavers from a far land to sew him a cloth and they said they will make him an invisible cloth.

2

The king told his chiefs to check what the weavers were doing. They knew King Abednego wanted strange clothes. So they told him that they were doing well.

3

When the cloth was done, he told the villagers of it and set a day to wear it.

4

When it was done, he wore it. He went around proudly showing the villagers his cloth.

5

When people saw him, he was naked and they whispered, "The King has gone mad. He is walking naked".

6

The news spreaded round the village. When villagers saw him, they ran into their houses. Children ran after him. They called him "the naked king".

7

His messengers and bodyguards quickly got him an older cloth. But he was known round the village as the "naked king" because of the invisible cloth he wore.
