Travellers coming to Hamelin were
questioned to learn if they had seen or
heard of the piper or children. Often the
piper was reported in one section of the
country or another, but when a messenger
would go to find out about it, all trace of
him would be lost.

music called to him an invitation to a great banquet,
of all the good things to eat-everything that rats
like best-all spread for him in a wondrous big
larder, where he could eat at his ease forever with
none to bother him; but-just then the music stopped
and the river was rolling over him, and he had to
swim for dear life.
When the people of Hamelin found that the rats
were really gone, there was much rejoicing and dane
ing and ringing of bells.
Then the Mayor ordered the nests dragged out
and the holes stopped up, SO that the rats never could
come back.
Just then the old Piper spoke up: First, if you
