But just when the people of Hamelin were at their wits' end about the rats, a strange man showed up in town, and he was a piper. He did not play a bagpipe, but instead he played a little pipe that was more like a flute or a recorder. The Piper wore old-fashioned clothes that were all different colors patched together.
In some versions of the story, the Pied Piper was wearing red and yellow. These are the colors of the Kansas City Chiefs football team, and they only won 2 games during the whole season last year, so that should have been a warning that the piper guy who was dressed in Chiefs colors could maybe bring bad luck.
But anyway, the Pied Piper told the people of Hamelin that he could solve their rat problem, but he wanted to be paid 1000 guilders for his work. They said they would pay him even more than that, if he could really get rid of the rats. So he went out in the street, and he began to play on his pipe. And all the rats in town came running out of the houses and shops and barns. They followed him through the town to the River Weser, and they all ran into the River and drowned.
The townspeople were very, very happy not to have the rats anymore, but they wished they hadn't told the Piper they would pay him all that money. So they only paid him a few guilders, and he got really angry. He said they would be sorry they had treated him that way. Then he stomped out of town
