About this listen

 In Toyville, a town made of toys, the greedy teddy bear mayor hoarded sweets and joy, leaving the town colorless and miserable. A rat infestation worsened the situation, and the desperate toy citizens demanded that the mayor fix it. The mayor's attempts failed, but then the Pied Piper arrived, promising to rid the town of rats for a small fee. The mayor agreed, then doubled it, but later refused to pay after the Piper successfully led the rats away with his enchanting music. Angered by the mayor's deceit, the Piper played a new tune, compelling the entire town, including the mayor, to dance uncontrollably. This unexpected joy reminded the mayor of the importance of fun. He repented, returned the sweets, and revitalized Toyville, restoring its color and happiness. The Pied Piper, his lesson delivered, departed, continuing his musical journey to other towns, with a warning for the mayor, "Forgive me...It seems I have failed. There's still a rat in this town."
