The Pied Piper of Hamelin



It was a bright, sunny day when a poor musician reached the town of Hamelin. He was know as the Pied Piper.

(Maliwanag ang sikat ng araw nang sapitin ni Pied Piper ang bayan ng Hamelin)

Hamelin is a town in Germany. It is famous because it is prosperous.

(Ang Hamelin ay isang bayan sa Germany. Kilala ito sa pagiging mayamang bayan)

Pied Piper went to the plaza. He sat in a stone bench and started playing his pipe.

(Nagpunta sa plasa si Pied Piper . Naupo siya sa isang upuang bato at pinatugtog ang kanyang pipa.)

The children who were playing in the plaza gathered around Pied Piper. They wanted to listen to his music.

(Pinaikutan si Pied Piper ng mga batang naglalaro sa plasa. Gusto nilang pakinggan ang kanyang pagtugtog.)

The proud parents got angry. They don't want their children to hang out with a poor musician.

(Nainis ang mayayabang na mga magulang. Ayaw nilang makahalubilo ng mga anak ang isang mahirap na musikero.)

Pied Piper was hurt. all he ever wanted is to make children happy with his music

(Nasaktan si Pied Piper. Ang gusto ang naman kasi niya ay mapasaya ang mga bata sa kanyang pagtugtog.)

Pied Piper went away but continued playing with his pipe. Children started to follow him.

(Umalis si Pied Piper pero patuloy sa pagpapatugtog ng kanyang pipa. Sinundan siya ng mga bata.)

The parents called the children. Instead of obeying their parents, the children followed Pied Piper.

(Tinawag ng mga magulang nila si Pied Piper. Sa halip sundin ang kanilang mga magulang ay si Pied Piper.ang sinundan nila.)

The Parents went panicky. They did not know what to do. "Stop him!" a mother begged another parent.

(Nagpanik ang mga magulang. Hindi nila alam kung ano ang gagawin. "Patigilin ninyo siya!" pakiusap ng isang ina sa ibang magulang.

"Stop playing with your pipe!" they begged Pied Piper. Pied Piper stopped playing.

("Tumigil ka sa pagtugtog!" pagmamakaawa nila kay Pied Piper. Huminto sa pagtugtog si Pied Piper.)

Pied Piper gave them a stern warning. "Don't ever underestimate a person because he is poor."

(Isang babala ang ibinigay sa kanila ni Pied Piper. "Huwag kayong manghamak ng kapwa dahil mahirap"

"The next time you do it, you might lose your children," he said. The people of Hamelin became kindhearted from the on.

("Kapag inulit ninyo ito, maaring mawalan na kau ng mga anak," ang sabi pa niya. Mula noon ay naging mabait na ang mga taga-Hamelin.)
