-A superficial emperor who is obsessed with clothing is swindled by people who tell him that they will make him clothing that is only visible to people who are smart enough. Although he can't see the cloth himself, he pretends he can so that people don't think he's stupid. He ends up "wearing" the clothes in public but just walks around naked.When a child speaks up and points out his nudity, the whole crowd realizes he really didn't have anything on.
-A tin solider spends his days vying after a paper doll lady. One day he falls out of a window and ends up being put on a boat by two boys. He ends up going on an adventure (that includes getting swallowed by a fish) before finding his way back home where he is thrown into a stove. The paper doll ends up flying into the stove also and burns.
-A greedy and cruel prince lives comfortably and prosperously. God tries to stop him but the prince declares that he will beat him. He builds huge airships to attack Heaven but is attacked by a gnat and defeated.
-A poor little girl desperately tries to sell matches. She gets cold and uses a match. Each time she uses one, she sees different comfortable things that go away when the match goes out. She sees her grandmother and goes up to heaven with her. The next day, the girl is found dead.
