00:00Join Kids Heart Family!
00:13Tia, today I am very happy.
00:18I met one of my friends
00:20who was acting all greedy and selfish in class.
00:24So I told him the story
00:27of the Pied Piper.
00:30of Hamelin
00:31and he soon understood the lesson.
00:34Really Tofu?
00:38I haven't heard this one.
00:40I would love to hear it from you.
00:54Once upon a time
00:56there was a town named Hamelin.
01:01The town was beautiful
01:03bustling with energy and wealth.
01:10But no sooner
01:12the happiness of the town
01:14was ruined by a plague.
01:18Plague of rats!
01:26There were rats everywhere.
01:28So much so
01:30that the people of the town
01:32didn't even have a place
01:33to keep a step without tripping over the rats.
01:39There were rats of every size, shape
01:43every age and colour.
01:47Nothing worked as a remedy.
01:51Not even the cats could survive.
01:55The town was in a state of panic.
01:57Not even the cats were able to control the plague of rats.
02:11Giving up
02:12the authorities decided to announce a reward
02:16of ten bags of gold
02:18to anyone who could help to get rid of the rats.
02:24One day
02:26a strange looking man
02:28came to the town.
02:30He was dressed in the traditional dress
02:33but all red in colour.
02:36With a long peculiar nose
02:39and big wide eyes
02:42he adorned his head
02:44with a feather
02:45in his hat.
02:51He went to the authorities and said
02:54I have a solution for your problem.
03:00I assure you
03:01that not a single rat would live in this beautiful town.
03:07But I want
03:09ten gold bags that you have promised as prize.
03:14The authorities were not very sure of his commitment
03:18but still allowed him to give it a try
03:21as they had no other option.
03:25Soon, the strange looking man
03:28took out a pied piper from his pocket
03:32and started playing a very strange tune.
03:38Within no time
03:40all the rats started coming out and following him.
03:50From every nook and corner of the town
03:53so many rats came out
03:59that the whole street was filled with them.
04:10Very strangely
04:12the rats started following the pied piper
04:15who was playing the strangest tune ever heard.
04:23The pied piper took them to the town's river
04:27and entered into it.
04:32In no time
04:34all the rats mesmerized by his tune
04:38and started following him.
04:53The pied piper's tune fell into the river and drowned.
05:02There were rejoices in the town
05:04celebrations all over.
05:09Soon, the pied piper went to the authorities
05:13to claim his prize money.
05:18But since their work was done
05:20that this plague would never return
05:24they shunned him off and asked him to leave
05:27without giving him a single penny.
05:30What selfish people are these?
05:33I did them a favor
05:35freed them from such a bad epidemic
05:38and all they could care was to be greedy and ungrateful?
05:46Now look, how I will teach these selfish people a lesson.
05:51The pied piper took out his pipe once again
05:55and started playing another strange tune.
06:05A tune that no one had ever heard before.
06:16In no time
06:18all the children of the town
06:20mesmerized by the music
06:23started following the pied piper.
06:32The children were so lost in his tune
06:35that they didn't realize that they have come out
06:39to the outskirts of the town.
06:48The pied piper took them to a cave
06:54and let them in.
06:57He kept playing the tune
06:59till all the children were inside the cave.
07:04He then closed the cave with a huge stone.
07:11Only two kids were left in the entire town.
07:15A boy who was hard of hearing
07:18and a girl who had hurt her leg so badly
07:21that she couldn't keep up the pace with the rest of the kids.
07:31These two kids went back
07:37and told their parents about the pied piper
07:40and how they were saved.
07:45And how he lured all the children into the cave.
07:52Soon, the authorities went begging to the pied piper
07:57and requested him to let their children out.
08:01This time, they promised to reward him with twenty gold bags.
08:08I don't trust you any longer.
08:10I want my prize money beforehand.
08:13Soon, he was handed over his prize money
08:20and he left never to be seen again.
08:26The children were freed from the cave
08:30and the parents hugged them and cried.
08:35Watching this, the authorities said
08:38We surely have learnt a lesson.
08:41This man came out of nowhere
08:43and saved us from an epidemic.
08:47All that we did in return was to be selfish and ungrateful.
08:52He surely taught us a lesson of not to be greedy and selfish.
08:59That night, the town rejoiced and celebrated like a festival.
09:09It's still said that in the town of Hamelin
09:12if you ever go and listen carefully
09:17you might hear the beautiful sound of the pied piper.
09:28Tofu, I am so proud of you.
09:31You must be a little naughty, but you surely are a good boy.
