00:13Tia, today I am very happy.

00:18I met one of my friends

00:20who was acting all greedy and selfish in class.

00:24So I told him the story

00:27of the Pied Piper.

00:30of Hamelin

00:31and he soon understood the lesson.

00:34Really Tofu?

00:38I haven't heard this one.

00:40I would love to hear it from you.

00:54Once upon a time

00:56there was a town named Hamelin.

01:01The town was beautiful

01:03bustling with energy and wealth.

01:10But no sooner

01:12the happiness of the town

01:14was ruined by a plague.

01:18Plague of rats!

01:26There were rats everywhere.

01:28So much so

01:30that the people of the town

01:32didn't even have a place

01:33to keep a step without tripping over the rats.

01:39There were rats of every size, shape

01:43every age and colour.

01:47Nothing worked as a remedy.

01:51Not even the cats could survive.

01:55The town was in a state of panic.

01:57Not even the cats were able to control the plague of rats.

02:11Giving up

02:12the authorities decided to announce a reward

02:16of ten bags of gold

02:18to anyone who could help to get rid of the rats.

02:24One day

02:26a strange looking man

02:28came to the town.

02:30He was dressed in the traditional dress

02:33but all red in colour.

02:36With a long peculiar nose

02:39and big wide eyes

02:42he adorned his head

02:44with a feather

02:45in his hat.

02:51He went to the authorities and said

02:54I have a solution for your problem.

03:00I assure you

03:01that not a single rat would live in this beautiful town.

03:07But I want

03:09ten gold bags that you have promised as prize.

03:14The authorities were not very sure of his commitment

03:18but still allowed him to give it a try

03:21as they had no other option.

03:25Soon, the strange looking man

03:28took out a pied piper from his pocket

03:32and started playing a very strange tune.

03:38Within no time

03:40all the rats started coming out and following him.

03:50From every nook and corner of the town

03:53so many rats came out

03:59that the whole street was filled with them.

04:10Very strangely

04:12the rats started following the pied piper

04:15who was playing the strangest tune ever heard.

04:23The pied piper took them to the town's river

04:27and entered into it.

04:32In no time

04:34all the rats mesmerized by his tune

04:38and started following him.

04:53The pied piper's tune fell into the river and drowned.

05:02There were rejoices in the town

05:04celebrations all over.

05:09Soon, the pied piper went to the authorities

05:13to claim his prize money.

05:18But since their work was done

05:20that this plague would never return

05:24they shunned him off and asked him to leave

05:27without giving him a single penny.

05:30What selfish people are these?

05:33I did them a favor

05:35freed them from such a bad epidemic

05:38and all they could care was to be greedy and ungrateful?

05:46Now look, how I will teach these selfish people a lesson.

05:51The pied piper took out his pipe once again

05:55and started playing another strange tune.

06:05A tune that no one had ever heard before.

06:16In no time

06:18all the children of the town

06:20mesmerized by the music

06:23started following the pied piper.

06:32The children were so lost in his tune

06:35that they didn't realize that they have come out

06:39to the outskirts of the town.

06:48The pied piper took them to a cave

06:54and let them in.

06:57He kept playing the tune

06:59till all the children were inside the cave.

07:04He then closed the cave with a huge stone.

07:11Only two kids were left in the entire town.

07:15A boy who was hard of hearing

07:18and a girl who had hurt her leg so badly

07:21that she couldn't keep up the pace with the rest of the kids.

07:31These two kids went back

07:37and told their parents about the pied piper

07:40and how they were saved.

07:45And how he lured all the children into the cave.

07:52Soon, the authorities went begging to the pied piper

07:57and requested him to let their children out.

08:01This time, they promised to reward him with twenty gold bags.

08:08I don't trust you any longer.

08:10I want my prize money beforehand.

08:13Soon, he was handed over his prize money

08:20and he left never to be seen again.

08:26The children were freed from the cave

08:30and the parents hugged them and cried.

08:35Watching this, the authorities said

08:38We surely have learnt a lesson.

08:41This man came out of nowhere

08:43and saved us from an epidemic.

08:47All that we did in return was to be selfish and ungrateful.

08:52He surely taught us a lesson of not to be greedy and selfish.

08:59That night, the town rejoiced and celebrated like a festival.

09:09It's still said that in the town of Hamelin

09:12if you ever go and listen carefully

09:17you might hear the beautiful sound of the pied piper.

09:28Tofu, I am so proud of you.

09:31You must be a little naughty, but you surely are a good boy.
