The Pied Piper...

Long long ago, in a faraway land, there was a country which was filled with rats. Each rat ate, grew up, worked, married, and lived life well. Importantly, each minded its own work. Things were going great, until that day...

It was the day when a wandering rat heard a tune. The tune was not awesome, but it was interesting and there was suspense how the tune would go. The rat walked on behind the tune. It was stopped by a few busily working rats, which asked it to continue working. But the rat asked them to observe the tune. The rats listened - it indeed was interesting.

The rats couldn't keep calm, the tune was so addictive. They met other busy rats and got them to listening and enjoying the tune.

And so, soon the entire rat community came to know of this phenomenon. All the rats, cheerful, followed the new music.

The next paper was was supposed to carry a very sad headline, but there was no rat left to publish or read it.
