The Piper of Hamelin
The town of Hamelin is plagued by rats that are three times as big as normal rats and very hungry. The rats eat all the food, drink the water, and terrify the children. The townspeople are desperate and consider leaving the town. However, a Piper arrives and offers to use his music to get rid of the rats. The Piper leads the rats into the river, causing them to drown. The townspeople celebrate, but the mayor refuses to pay the Piper the agreed-upon amount due to a single rat that he had hidden. As revenge, the Piper lures all the children away with his music and leads them into a mountain, never to be seen again.
