And shouldn't he have got the mayor of Hamlin to sign a contract before he did all that rat catching?

of course peodo's existed in those days! You don't think they just suddenly sprang up one day did you! In ancient greece it was accepted if you were rich, elsewhere you could probably get away with it if you were rich enough, other then that, kids would go missing all the time, so they were probably taken by peodo's and then it was put down to the boogie man or something!

no he did not exist. the children of Hamlin were handed over to the organiser of the childrens` crusade in return for hamlin not being flattened by a big army of bullies. The legend was a way of seeking an excuse and being in denial.

The Piper may have kept a few of the cutest ones for his own but didn't he lead the kids into the sea to drown?
I don't think the mayor of Hamlin was a very good mayor to begin with- who would trust a guy with a flute to get rid of a rat infestation.

Manxbiker has given you the completed tale yet now you ought to write it up like a information article. The headlines must be something surprising to entice readers "toddlers taken in formidable kidnapping" the 1st top-rated paragraph ought to provide minor info relating to the abduction then stick to via with the way it became accomplished. "each and all of the toddlers of Hamlin went lacking in one day and none observed or heard a element apart from a music from a flute. some mothers and dads have been getting worried approximately 5pm while their toddlers had no longer back homestead from a school trip and had feared the worst, possibly an twist of destiny. Mrs Pope of Norwood Lane had reported as the community constabulary asking if there have been any reported injuries as her purely son, Billy, had no longer been considered all day." something like that.

First off it's a legend, secondly back in those days pedophilia didn't really exist because girls were getting married as young as fourteen to men at least 40-50 years old.

No. This story was written when people had more morals than today. It is a great story of wonder and charm.
Todays perverted and evil world is disgusting. And questions like this makes me sad to live in this time period of human history. Sad :(

No he was a kidnapper
And yes, a contract would have helped

No I imagine he made the children work for him like servants.
