  • When in the poem says "however he, (the Pied Piper,) turned from south to west." we see him facing south towards the Weser river and he turns east.

  • Anyone considered the piper is saving the children from the corrupt town of Hamelin?

  • @JackandSally4ever but he got off easy! The others all probably died

  • @joshgill12345 0:43 "And there he blew 3 notes"

    He then plays 5 notes

  • @fredrbp1 doubtful. what he did, he did out of revenge. One of the theories behind how the story came into existance was that it was a metaphor for the plague (which followed the rats) wiping out virtually every child in many cities.

  • @fredrbp1 Yea But Wen he Takes Then He Does All Sorts of Stuff To Them Then Kill Them !

  • Satan ftw

  • @melikeclassicalmusic All of these reasons have merit, which makes the story so much fun to disseminate, but if he was some kind of fae, his purpose might not have been evil towards the children. Faeries do great deeds for people but punish them severely when slighted. He could have been acting out of a sense of faery justice rather than human justice.

  • Very cute. People are talking metaphors, so it could also be an extended metaphor for sanitation and disease. If a stingy government doesn't furnish its town with basic amenities, vermin come, disease comes, and children are usually the first to die, whether by rat bites or from the plagues that rats carried. But really, the chief message is obvious: you owe someone, pay up.

  • The end with the lame child made me cry.

  • Didn't a single one of the thousands of villagers think to simply stuff a sock in the end of the pipe?

  • he who shall teach the child to doubt the rotting shall neer get out. irish schools for irish childrten
