A long time ago, the peoples of Hamelin town were facing a great problem. The town of Hamelin became full of rats, the rats were so big and fierce and they were doing noise everywhere that they fought the dogs, killed the cats and hit the babies in the cradles.
They ate up the corn in the granaries. At last, the people came to the Town hall and said to the Mayor. “Do something about the rats.”
Then the Mayor of Hamelin Town called a meeting of his councilors and talked about the problems of the rat for hours. But they could not find a way out. They were in despair, at that moment a tall thin stranger entered the Hall.
He went up to the council tables and said. “People call me the Pied Piper. If you pay me two thousand guilders, I will rid your town of rats.” “All right, said the Mayor. “we’ll pay you two thousand guilders. From when will you start to remove?” “NOW”, answered the Pied Piper.
The pied piper went to the street and took out a pipe from his pocket. Then he began to play on the pipe, soon from every house in Hamelin came out the rats trembling.
There were hundreds of thousands of them. the man still playing on his pipe moved along the streets and the rats followed him.
He went down to the back of the river Weser and waded into the river. And every single rat that followed him was drowned.
