A young Japanese boy named Taro leads a hard life - working day in and day out to support his sick mother. Things become so grim that he is forced to seek help from his rich uncle Gonzo whom he asks for a loan so he can buy his mother's medicine. The miserly uncle however won't lend Taro a penny and the boy is in despair. As luck would have it, Taro meets an old man who gives him a pair of clogs that create gold coins for whoever wears them. Taro's money problems are suddenly over and he and his mother can live comfortably at last. But the mean Gonzo hears about the clogs and bullies Taro into giving them to him. Soon Gonzo is creating more gold than he can possibly spend in ten lifetimes and is deliriously rich. But as soon as he discovers - it's very easy to have too much of a good thing.

S01:E01 - The Emperor's New Clothes
An extremely vain Emperor loved nothing more than seeing himself dressed in very beautiful clothes. So when two crafty Swindlers arrive and tell him they can give him the finest clothes ever made, the Emperor is naturally delighted. The swindlers then produce a 'cloth' that they say is totally invisible to people who are stupid. Not wanting to be seen as anything less than intelligent, the Emperor praises the cloth - even though he can't see it (because in truth, there is nothing to see). What's good enough for the Emperor quickly becomes good enough for his subjects and soon everyone in the Kingdom is praising the non existent clothes in rapturous terms. The result of all this is that an Emperor makes an embarrassment of himself and a lot of people who should know better behave very stupidly indeed.

A terrible drought then broke out and it seemed that the world would soon die unless something could be done. But what?
