@aliciaten you might want to do some research on the subject since there was most likely no pied piper. some theories are that the story could represent nicholas of cologne who lured children away as part of "children's crusades" or death by plague or it might represent emmigration.
Jay ward cartoons make me want to look up words in the dictionary because of the double meaning of words in the gags and the play on words! In that sense they were both educational and funny at the same time! They also had funny surrprise twist endings!
@Aleksei5055 According to the late historian William Manchester, there actually was a person who became known as "The Pied Piper," although that English name was coined hundreds of years after he lived. The town of Hamelin still exists, and The Pied Piper was a serial kidnapper and pederast.
Any historians out there? I mean is this even real?! I heard the Pied Piper was a symbol for death and the children probably died of some disease or something... If this is a real person then, well, it was the middle ages... was there anything NOT gruesome about it...

I like how the mother-in-laws boobs squished the pied piper when the narrator said they were meant for each other :P

Where did you get that version? I've heard of it being derived from the Children's Crusade.
Whatever the origin, just take this for what it is, a wildly silly variation on an old folk tale.
