The big town of Hamelin was a beautiful town. 1 million people lived there and it was a really nice place to live.
Unfortunately, they found that the town was suffering from a horrible plague of rats. The town council tried everything to get rid of them, but they couldn’t. At last, the mayor promised a humongous reward to anybody who could get rid of all the rats
A stranger dressed in bright beautiful clothes arrived and said he could get rid of all the rats in Hamelin. He was wearing a big pirate hat and long black coat. That night, the stranger started to play a tune on his flute. All the rats came out of the disgusting houses and tall buildings and into the river, where they drowned.
The mayor would not pay the piper because he said that playing a flute was not good enough to get a reward. The piper was angry because he got rid of the rats. the Mayor told the piper to leave Hamelin.
Then the next day the piper came back, and started to play his flute. This time, all the children followed him, and he left the village towards the big mountains. Suddenly, a small cave opened in the mountain and the piper and all the children went in. The cave closed behind them and the children were never seen again in Hamelin.
