"Out of the mouth of Babes" or "The Small Child"

Many years ago there lived an emperor (empress, you or I) who loved beautiful new clothes so much (approval of the world) that he/she spent all his/her money (time) on being finely dressed (following "modern" trends such as in speech or behaviors). His/her only interest was in going to the theater or in riding about in his carriage (showing: hey, I'm hip, I am with you and "modern times") where he could show off his new clothes (having no shame or second thoughts about his/her behavior). He/she had a different costume (behavior) for every hour of the day. Indeed, where it was said of other kings that they were at court, it could only be said of him that he was in his dressing room (His/her behavior is still hidden from the world. He/she is now living life of: use of inappropriate speech, immoral dress standards, drug use, immoral physical activities, promiscuity, illegal activities)!

One day two swindlers (people out of his/her own peer group) came to the emperor's city. They said that they were weavers, claiming that they knew how to make the finest cloth imaginable (telling him/her: hey, what you are doing is not all that bad, let's get out of the closet and be more open about what you are doing in secret, the world is now accepting what you are doing). Not only were the colors and the patterns extraordinarily beautiful, but in addition, this material had the amazing property that it was to be invisible to anyone who was incompetent or stupid (evil became known as good and good became known as evil).

We all know the rest of the story. He/she became more and more blatant in the behavior and as time went on it became obvious to all to what extent he/she had deviated from the normal.
