One day the Governor of the city asked all the people to come to a meeting. When
they were
talking , they heard a knock on the door and a stranger came in. He wore a long
coat. Half of
it was red and half was yellow. He was carrying a pipe. He said to the Governor.
When I
play my pipe I can make all animals run after me. If I take away all the rats from your city,will you give me a thousand guilders?
A thousand
guilders? said the Governor. Well give you fifty thousand!
