Pied piper of Hamlin

A long time ago the town of Hamlin faced a great problem. It became full of rats. The rats were so big and so fierce that they fought the dogs, killed the cats and bit the babies in the cradles [দোলনা]. They ate up the corn in the granaries [শস্যের গুদাম]. At last the Mayor of the town was informed about the problem by the people. But the Mayor failed to find a definite [যথাযথ] solution to remove the violent rats. However, there came a pied piper who offered the Mayor to remove the rats in lieu [বদলে] of thousand guilders [হল্যান্ডের মুদ্রাবিশেষ]. The Mayor and his councillors accepted this proposal. The pied piper through his magical blow of pipe took all the rats to the nearby river. When the piper played the pipe, all the rats of the town followed him into the river and drowned [ডুবা]. After completing his task, the piper demanded his money. But the Mayor refused [অসম্মত হওয়া] to pay all the money except only a little amount. The pied piper became very angry and playing different tune, he charmed [যাদুমুগ্ধ] all the children of Hamlin. Like the rats they followed him laughing and dancing. At last the children reached at a certain hill and entered into the den of it from where they never came back. The pied piper in this way took revenge on the people of Hamlin.
