Pied piper of hamelin summary with 150 words

Answer 1

Answer:

Robert Browning’s poem, ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’ is a children’s story in the form of a poem. One of Browning’s longest poem, it tells of a story of the town of Hamelin that was over run with rats (if you don’t want the plot to the poem, skip this paragraph). The Pied Piper comes to Hamelin and tells the Mayor that he will get rid of the rats for ‘a thousand guilders’. The Mayor agrees and with the help of his flute and magic, the Pied Piper leads the rats down to the river where they all drown. The town of Hamelin are delightful and spend their money drinking to this victory. They forget to pay the Pied Piper for his work leaving the Pied Piper in a revengeful mood. He lures, just like he did with the rats, the children of the town to the top of a mountain where they miraculously disappear. From this story, the moral of the story is to keep to your promise, just like the town of Hamelin never did.
