Just having that "left out" feeling.........
"Magnificent! Excellent! Unsurpassed!" said the Emperor.
"But he hasn't got anything in the frame," a little child said.
"Did you ever hear such innocent prattle?" said its father. And one person whispered to another what the child had said, "He hasn't anything in the frame. A child says he hasn't anything in the frame."
"But he hasn't got anything in the frame!" the whole town cried out at last.
The Emperor shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, "This procession has got to go on." So he walked more proudly than ever, as his noblemen held high the framed newspaper that wasn't there at all.
