The Emperor's Exclusivity Contract

And after the emperor had proudly displayed his new clothing of moonbeams, he made the craftsmen who fashioned it sign an exclusivity contract, so they could not make any more clothing of moonbeams for anyone but the emperor.

The emperor said to himself, "what a bunch of fools, now I'll have the only set of moonbeam clothing!"

The craftsmen who made the clothing of moonbeams for the emperor said to each other, "what a fool, those moonbeams wear out so quickly he'll have us back every month to repair it."
