thankful to say。;

     The child did not wish to ask the pig if he were his brother�察�but the pig 

did not wait to be asked。

     ;Oh yes�察�you are� ─�said the pig。 ;I confess I am not proud of you�察�but 

there is no mistaking the members of our family。 Come along�察�and have a

     THE CAKE��1�А�

       A child quarrelled with his brother one day about a cake。 

     ;It is my cake� ─�said the child。 

     ;No�察�it is mine� ─�said his brother。 

     ;You   shall   not   have   it� ─  �said   the   child。   ;Give   it   to   me   this   minute� ─�

And he fell upon his brother and beat him。 

     Just then came by an Angel who knew the child。 

     ;Who is this that you are beating�拭─�asked the Angel。 

     ;It is my brother�察─�said the child。 

     ;No�察�but truly�察─�said the Angel�察 �who is it�拭─�

     ;It is my brother�察�I tell you� ─�said the child。 

     ;Oh no�察─�said the Angel�察 �that cannot be�察�and it seems a pity for you to 

tell   an   untruth�察  �because   that   makes   spots   on   your   soul。   If   it   were   your 

brother�察�you would not beat him。; 

     ;But he has my cake� ─�said the child。 

     ;Oh�察─�said the Angel�察 �now I see my mistake。 You mean that the cake 

is your brother�察�and that seems a pity�察�too�察�for it does not look like a very 

good cake��and�察�besides�察�it is all crumbled to pieces。; 



     THE PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN TOWN��1�А�

Hamelin。 

       Once I made a pleasure trip to a country called Germany�察�and I went 

to a funny little town�察�where all the streets ran uphill。 At the top there was 

a big mountain�察�steep like the roof of a house�察�and at the bottom there was 

a  big   river�察 �broad   and slow。 And   the  funniest  thing   about the  little   town 

was that all the shops had the same thing in them�察�bakers' shops�察�grocers' 

shops�察  �everywhere   we   went   we   saw   the   same   thing��big   chocolate   rats�察�

rats   and   mice�察  �made   out   of   chocolate。 We   were   so   surprised that   after   a 

while�察 �Why do you have rats in your shops�拭─�we asked。 

     ;Don't   you   know   this   is   Hamelin   town�拭─  �they   said。   ;What   of   that�拭─�

said we。 ;Why�察�Hamelin town is where the Pied Piper came�察─�they told us�察�

;surely you know about the Pied Piper�拭─ �WHAT about the Pied Piper�拭─�

we said。 And this is what they told us about him。 

     It   seems   that   once�察  �long�察  �long   ago�察  �that   little   town   was   dreadfully 

troubled with rats。 The houses were full of them�察�the  shops were full   of 

them�察  �the   churches   were   full   of   them�察  �they   were   EVERYWHERE。   The 

people were all but eaten out of house and home。 Those rats�察�

       They  fought the   dogs  and   killed   the   cats�察�And bit   the   babies   in   the 

cradles�察�And ate the cheeses out of the vats�察�And licked the soup from the 

cooks' own ladles�察�Split open the kegs of salted sprats�察�Made nests inside 

men's Sunday hats�察�And even spoiled the women's chats By drowning their 

speaking With shrieking and squeaking In fifty different sharps and flats� �

       At last it got so bad that the people simply couldn't stand it any longer。 

So they all came together and went to the town hall�察�and they said to the 

Mayor ��you know what a mayor is�殖��察 �See here�察�what do we pay you your 

salary for�拭�What are you good for�察�if you can't do a little thing like getting 

rid of these rats�拭�You must go to work and clear the town of them�察�find the 

remedy that's lacking�察�orwe'll send you packing� ─�

     Well�察�the poor Mayor was in a terrible way。 What to do he didn't know。 

He sat with his head in his hands�察�and thought and thought and thought。 

     Suddenly   there   came   a   little   rat´tat   at   the   door。   Oh�   �how   the   Mayor 

jumped� �His poor old heart went pit´a´pat at anything like the sound of a 

rat。 But it was only the scraping of shoes on the mat。 So the Mayor sat up�察�

and said�察 �Come in� ─�

     And in came the strangest figure� �It was a man�察�very tall and very thin�察�

with a sharp chin and a mouth where the smiles went out and in�察�and two 

blue   eyes�察  �each   like   a   pin�察  �and   he   was   dressed   half   in   red   and   half   in 

yellowhe really was the strangest fellow��and round his neck he had a 

long red and yellow ribbon�察�and on it was hung a thing something like a 

flute�察�and his fingers went straying up and down it as if he wanted to be 

playing。 

     He came up to the Mayor and said�察 �I hear you are troubled with rats 

in this town。; 

     ;I should say we were�察─�groaned the Mayor。 

     ;Would you like to get rid of them�拭�I can do it for you。; 

     ;You can�拭─�cried the Mayor。 ;How�拭�Who are you�拭─�

     ;Men   call   me   the   Pied   Piper�察─  �said   the   man�察   �and   I   know   a   way   to 

draw   after   me   everything   that   walks�察  �or   flies�察  �or   swims。   What   will   you 

give me if I rid your town of rats�拭─�

     ;Anything�察�anything�察─�said the Mayor。 ;I don't believe you can do it�察�

but if you can�察�I'll give you a thousand guineas。; 

     ;All right�察─�said the Piper�察 �it is a bargain。; 

     And then he went to the door and stepped out into the street and stood�察�

and put the long flute´like thing to his lips�察�and began to play a little tune。 

A strange�察�high�察�little tune。 And before 

       three shrill notes the pipe uttered�察�You heard as if an army muttered�察�

And   the   muttering   grew   to   a   grumbling�察  �And   the   grumbling   grew   to   a 

mighty  rumbling�察�And out   of   the   houses   the   rats   came   tumbling I   Great 

rats�察  �small   rats�察  �lean   rats�察  �brawny  rats�察  �Brown   rats�察  �black   rats�察  �gray  rats�察�

tawny   rats�察   �Grave     old   plodders�察   �gay   young     friskers�察  �Fathers�察   �mothers�察�

uncles�察�cousins�察�Cocking tails and pricking whiskers�察�Families by tens and 

dozens�察 �Brothers�察 �sisters�察  �husbands�察 �wives   Followed   the   Piper   for   their 

lives� �

       From street   to   street he   piped�察 �advancing�察 �from  street to   street   they 

followed�察�dancing。 Up one street and down another�察�till they came to the 

edge of the big river�察�and there the piper turned sharply about and stepped 

aside�察�and all those rats tumbled h
