The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a folk tale written down by the Brothers Grimm. It tells about a disaster in the town of Hamelin, Germany, that supposedly occurred on June 26, 1284. In that year a man came to Hamelin claiming to be a rat-catcher. The people of Hamelin promised him payment for killing the rats. So the man took a pipe, attracted the rats by his music and made them follow him to the Weser river, where they all drowned. Despite this success the people reneged on their promise and did not pay the rat-catcher. The pied piper left the town of Hamelin, after being tricked by the people. But he returned several weeks later, while the inhabitants were in the church. He played his pipe again, this time attracting the children of Hamelin. One hundred thirty boys and girls followed him out of the town, where they were lured into a cave and sealed inside. Depending on the version, at most two children survived.
Well honey, let me tell you, it wasn't just rats that followed that pied piper out of Hamelin. Nope, there were also mice, moles, and even cockroaches that couldn't resist his sweet tunes. So next time you hear a catchy melody, just be grateful it's not leading a parade of pests out of your town!
