Talk:Pied Piper of Hamelin/@comment-9017724-20191012193733

I think Pied Piper of Hamelin used an illusion to scare the rats away and then, when the townspeople refused to pay him, he created an illusion of him taking their children in order to scare them enough for them to pay him. Because legends tend to be exaggerated over the centuries, probably the tale arrived to our days as it is now.
