Pied Piper of Hameln.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin (German: Rattenfänger von Hameln, also known as the Pan Piper or the Rat-Catcher of Hamelin) is the titular character of a legend from the town of Hamelin (Hameln), Lower Saxony, Germany. The legend dates back to the Middle Ages, the earliest references describing a piper, dressed in multicolored ("pied") clothing, who was a rat-catcher hired by the town to lure rats away with his magic pipe. When the citizens refuse to pay for this service, he retaliates by using his instrument's magical power on their children, leading them away as he had the rats. This version of the story spread as folklore and has appeared in the writings of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the Brothers Grimm, and Robert Browning, among others.
There are many contradictory theories about the Pied Piper. Some suggest he was a symbol of hope to the people of Hameln, which had been attacked by plague; he drove the rats from Hameln, saving the people from the epidemic.
Shykh Seraj went to the city of Hameln in Germany back in 2016 to cover the theatrical performance of 'The Pied Piper of Hameln'. Later it was dubbed and broadcast on Krishoker Eid Ananda.
