The Pied Piper[]
The Pied Piper is a young man who volunteers to get rid of an army of rats that have invaded the Town of Hamelin. By playing his pipe, he hypnotizes them into leaving the town and and sends them in pursuit of a giant illusionary piece of cheese.
However, the mayor and people of Hamelin show themselves to be thankless by giving him only a single gold coin instead of the promised bag of gold; claiming that the rats left of their own accord while the Piper played on his instrument. Incensed by their betrayal and deciding that their children deserved better than to be allowed to grow up like the corrupt townspeople, The Piper uses his music to lead all the village children out of Hamelin and into an enchanted world, where they can play and laugh all day long.
