AND HERe's where i added another personal twist to the tale of the pied piper.. see.. if i were an adult in this town, and i se children being taken away by this... external force, if you will... i'd DO something about it, not just stand there and watch my children be taken away. SO... i'll justify them b saying that the piper's tune also messed with any grown-up's head and made them blind and temporarily demented. that way, they really CANT do anything to stop the piper from collecting and punishing them.
