    The Pied Piper of Hamelin tells the story of a town in Germany called Hamelin that was overrun with rats. The town offered a reward to anyone who could rid them of the rats. The Pied Piper arrived and played his magical flute, leading all the rats into the river where they drowned. However, when the mayor reneged on the reward, the Pied Piper played his flute again, this time leading all the children away from Hamelin, never to be seen again. The story is a lesson about keeping one's promises and the consequences of dishonesty.

    Pied Piper of Hamelin

    Good morning to the honourable judges, teachers and my fellow friends.


    Today, let me tell you a story entitled “The Pied Piper of Hamelin”.

    Hamelin was a small town in Germany. The town was full of rats. They
    were everywhere in houses, inns, shops, schools and in streets. At first, they
    thought that cats would drive the rats away. However, the rats were too many. It
    was really difficult to find a lot of cats. They were in real trouble. Someone needs
    to do something.

    One day, a stranger came to the town of Hamelin. He carried a flute with
    him. He went to see the mayor and said, "I’m a pied piper. I heard that Hamelin
    has a big problem with rats. I will help you to get rid of all the rats in one day, but
    what would you give as my reward?"

    The mayor was thinking. It was difficult to get rid of the rats, and to do it in
    a day? It was impossible!" I promise you 10 000 gold coins from us if you can do
    as you say," said the mayor proudly. 

    He was sure the man could not do it. The pied piper nodded his head and
    left. Then, he walked out in the street, took out his flute and started playing it. A
    piece of weird music floated in the air. The people of Hamelin could hear the
    beautiful music from every corner of Hamelin.

    Suddenly, there was a 'whirring' noise. Thousands of rats came out from
    everywhere. The rats were enchanted and followed the music that came from the
    flute. The pied piper walked towards the sea, and all the rats of Hamelin followed
    behind him. It was such a view! He continuously played the flute and walked right
    into the sea. The rats followed him and all of them drowned. The pied piper got
    rid of all the rats. He kept his promise.

    The mayor and the town's people were happy. But the mayor had changed
    his mind. When the pied piper went to him for his reward, he said, "It is
    a wonderful job you have done but 10 000 gold coins are too much for one day's
    work. I will only pay you 100 hundred gold coins." The Pied Piper was angry. He
    left the mayor.

    In the street, he took out his flute and started playing. The weird music
    came out again. Suddenly, all the children of Hamelin came out and
    followed him. The Pied Piper played the flute and walked out of the town. They
    walked, and walked, and walked and disappeared into the mountains. 

    The parents of the children cried, "Where did our children go? We want our
    children back!" They went to see the mayor and complained about it. The mayor
    was helpless. He knew that he did not keep his promise and was dishonest
    with the pied piper. But it was too late. The pied piper had never returned.

    Dear friends, this is a story for everyone. We should keep the promise that
    we have made. Failing to do so is an act of dishonesty. That’s all from me, thank
    you.
