the pied piper stepped

Explanation:
The Pied Piper legend originated in Hamelin, Germany during the middle ages. As the story goes, the town was struggling with a rat infestation problem and was desperate for relief. A mysterious man in “pied clothing” approached the mayor and promised he could rid the city of its problem in return for payment of 20 gold bags. The mayor agreed, and the man played a magical pipe to lure all the city’s rats to a nearby body of water, where they drowned. When the Piper returned and asked for his reward, the mayor refused.
As if visualizing a rat infestation was not traumatizing enough, the story then takes another sinister turn. Furious that he had been cheated, the piper soon returned to the town of Hamelin on St. John and Paul’s day. As the grown members of the town attend church, the Piper once again played his magical pipe through the streets, this time luring the town’s 130 children from their homes and then he locked them inside a cave. Most versions agree there were a few children left behind—one was crippled and he could not keep up, one was deaf so he could not hear the music, and one was blind and could not see where the other children were going. When church let out, the survivors told the town's people what had happened.Soon the authorities went begging to the pied piper and requested him to let the children out. This time they promised him that they will reward him with 20 gold bags if he let the children out . The pied piper said that he didnt trust them anymore and so they have to hand him the reward beforehand. The villagers were desperate and so they handed him the reward beforehand. The pied piper then quickly let the children out of the cave,and then he left the town,never to be seen again.
