The Pied Piper Of Hamelin by Robert Browning
A Child's Story
A prosperous town overrun by rats hires a mysterious piper who, using enchanted music, lures the vermin to their doom; when the townspeople refuse to pay the agreed reward, he returns and leads their children away into a hidden mountain, leaving only a lame child behind to describe the wonders they saw. This cautionary tale underscores the consequences of broken promises, greed, and ingratitude.
