An Allegory About The Emperor And His 300 Million Living Cells
There he goes again enjoying the summer warmth in his kingdom. B And as has
been his habit of late he is butt naked. B He likes it that way; his body
feels so free. B But fear is rising in the community. B Cold weather is
threatening and if the Emperor gets a chill and falls ill the wrath of the
gods will fall upon us.
If we speak of his nakedness it will be "off with our heads". B All agree
that he must be dressed to survive the winds of the coming winter. B All
agree that a suitable cloak is needed; but Mr. B D and Mr. R are the only
weavers among us. B Mr. R's Teanager , whose help is needed, insists on his
own features in the cloak's design or he won't do his part in the weaving
and sewing. B For many weeks Mr. D and Mr. R have been unable to agree on the
cloak's design. B Mr. R, by far the best salesman of the group, B has got the
Emperor's ear and is gradually winning him over to his cloak design.
Still, no one dares tell the Emperor that without any clothes he will die of
exposure. B All they do is hint that a cloak is needed to keep him warm. B But
right now the Emperor shrugs and replies "What's all this fuss about a cloak
to keep me warm. B Look at the sun shining. B I'm quite comfortable"
Through all of this Mr. I, a noted clothier, has been largely silent. B And
Mr. P, the person whose job is to approve the cloak and present it to the
Emperor and try to get him to button it up and wear it properly, stayed out
of the argument for a while. B But lately Mr. P sees the predicted clouds of
winter on the horizon is trying hard to get D and R to get on with the
project. B And of course R is bitterly blaming P and D for not cooperating.
And through all of this everybody is terrified of telling the Emperor the
real truth about reality of his nakedness and how much that cloak is going
to weigh wrapped around his body.
And all seem to have forgotten the issues of fixing the leaks in the palace
roof, holes in its walls, the broken chimney over the hearth and build a
stock of firewood for the winter.
