Who's the Piper and why do some have to pay him?!


Question: Who originated that?


Answers: Who originated that?

I'm embaressed. I remember the Pied Piper but only his part in driving out the rats. I forgot this little gem,

Pied Piper of Hamelin -- The Pied Piper was promised a reward if he would drive the rats and mice out of Hameln (Westphalia). This he did, for he gathered them together by his pipe, and then drowned them in the Weser. As the people refused to pay him, he next led the children to Koppelberg Hill, where 130 of them perished (July 22nd, 1376).

(Hameln, on the river Hamel, is where the Rattenf?nger played this prank. It is said that the children did not perish in the mountain, but were led over it to Transylvania, where they formed a German colony.)

I Love Wiki but I also believe in double checking, This little pearls was at, http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board...
it's good for other phrases as well.

Cheers!

What do you mean by piper?

He's a bag man for Fate. He collects what the Universe feels you owe. He ALWAYs gets paid.
