We all know the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. It is a German legend about a colorful, but mysterious, stranger who answered the call of the town fathers to rid the population of rats. With a magical musical instrument he led the entire lot of vermin to the river where they dropped in and drowned. When the officials refused to pay as they had promised, the stranger used his magic music to lure away the village children into a mountain where they were never seen again.
