The
Piper began to play again but this time he played differently. When they heard
the wonderful sound, all the children came out of the houses and ran after the
Piper. At first he took them towards the river.
ALL the people were very
frightened .They thought the children would fall into the river, like the
rats. The governor and the people stood still.
But the Piper turned towards a
mountain. The Governor said, “When he climbed that mountain, he will stop
playing his pipe. Then our children will return to us.
