| Hamelin It’s true about the rats. And there’s a town in Germany called Hamelin. But the matter of the piper being dressed in a sort of two-tone outfit is a total fabrication. He did try to lead the children away as revenge for not being paid for his services. But the townsfolk rumbled him before he could get them hidden. Just in time, they headed him off at the pass. His punishment was much worse than being swindled out of his proper remuneration. I’ll not shock you with the details but would advise you never to sample Hamelin’s famous meat pies.
