The Pied Piper of Hamelin
by Robert Browning
The town of Hamelin is full of rats! There are rats in the closets, rats in the market, rats in kennels, even rats in pots and pans. Rats eat all the food, chew around the houses and chase the cats. The people of Chamelin don't know what to do! Then a mysterious stranger comes to the city and promises to expel the rats forever. Can the townspeople trust this strangely dressed man? And is it worth the price to get rid of mice?
