The Pied Piper of Hamelin Town
(From traditions, with rhymes from Browning’s The Pied Piper of Hamelin.)
Once I made a pleasure trip to a country called Germany; and I went to a funny little town, where all the streets ran uphill. At the top there was a big mountain, steep like the roof of a house, and at the bottom there was a big river, broad and slow. And the funniest thing about the little town was that all the shops had the same thing in them; bakers’ shops, grocers’ shops, everywhere we went we saw the same thing,—big chocolate rats, rats and mice, made out of chocolate. We were so surprised that after a while, “Why do you have rats in your shops?” we asked.
