It has been over 20 years since the people of Hamelin lived in their little beautiful city with all the best resources and all the good things they ever wanted. They shared everything in common, no one had lack for anything except those that didn't want to be burdens to anyone.
The city had a Mayor that was in charged of everything that is going on in the city. The Mayor was a very pompous man because he knew all the power in the city belongs to him and he was never tired of flaunting his wealth to anyone who he met newly. The Mayor lived in the best building of the city and because of his love for his cities wealth, he always did whatever he can to keep that position as a Major.
As the day went by, the Major became more and more greedy that he started caring less about his people's need, he was just concerned of himself and his family. The people of Hamelin were scared of the Mayor because he has become a very heartless man, that he never mind killing anyone that tries to go against him. The Major knew how delicate the people were and he used that to his own advantage.
Days went by, soon turned to weeks and just like that it is already 10 years since this Mayor was chosen, it's long passed the time they should have selected a new Mayor, they normally change their Majors every 5 years but they were scared of even bringing up that topic in the presence of the Mayor. The people of Hamelin felt really helpless because there was no one who could stand against the Mayor.
Things were getting worse, people were now dying out of hunger because the Mayor has ordered them to pay a very huge tax for the upkeep of the city because he was not able to take away their rights of owning a land. The people now had to sell the produce they got from their farm land just to pay up the tax. After harvesting on their farm lands, they go to neighboring cities to sell their products to them because those cities lacked those things. At the end of making their sales, they will always go to the major to make their payments and before they knew it, they had very little to take care of their families.
While the people of Hamelin were suffering from hunger, the Major and his family were eating the big spoils and they were getting fatter every as the people were dying of hunger. There happened to be a young boy who was an orphan, he lost his parents the same year the Mayor was chosen and he was always sad to see how the Major was treating the people of Hamelin because he loved them so much. Dan who happens to be the young boy was a very good singer, he always like singing when he was feeling down and that made him feel better.
One day, while Dan was walking along a lonely path, he saw some men beating a very old man and he recognized that the men were from the Mayor so he quickly hid himself, he saw how the old man was struggling to survive and he knew he had to do something to save him so he started making some really funny sounds and before the men knew what was happening, they saw so many cats surrounding them and soon they started bouncing on them with their paws and they took to their heels to save themselves. The little boy quickly came out of his hide out and he ran to met the old man and he took him to his little house to take care of him.
After some few days, the old man regained full consciousness and he was so amazed to see the young boy that saved him, he appreciated him a lot for his kind gesture and he was also curious to know how sure a boy delivered him from those strong men. The little boy narrated the story to him but the old man was not still satisfied and he asked further, asking the boy to tell him how come the cats could hear his strange sound and came to chase the men away. I don't know how I managed to get them to come to my aid but I always make that sound when I'm in need of help and I always get the help I need, said Dan.
The old man was so impressed and he told the Dan that he had the power to save his people and all he needs to do was to get the people regain their hole again. That is going to be a really hard task to accomplish seeing that the people has already lost their faith, said Dan. Well then we will have to find one way or another to make them believe in you, as that is the only way you could save your beloved people from the hands of their wicked Mayor.
Dan was not sure of how he was going to get his people believe in him but he was certain he want to save his people from the wicked mayor. After much deliberation on how he should go about saving his people, he remembered that the people always loved listening to good music and he also knew that music was a very good healer of a broken soul. Dan made necessary preparations to make the people gather at a particular place where they normally sit down in the evening towards bed time.
When Dan was sure that everyone was present, he started making a very melodious and emotional sound and soon all the people were very lively because that was the sound of the city's best song which they normally sang when they were happy. They all sang the song to their heart content even as some danced to the melodies that they made. Dan seeing that the people's mood were been lightened, he quickly find a way to draw their attention to himself and when he successfully did that, he said some really motivating words to them and it went straight to all of their hearts and they were will to stand up to the mayor.
The next day, the people were supposed to pay their tax but to the Mayor's greatest surprise, not even one person came and this made him very angry and he sent out his boys to go remind the people of their unpaid tax but when they got there, and tried using force on them as they always did, they people stood up against them and they were surprised and they managed to run for their lives and went straight to the Major to tell him what they encountered. The Mayor was more raged and he quickly got more boys to go to the people but unfortunately for them, the people overpowered them and also drove them from the land.
The End.
Han pasado más de 20 años desde que la gente de Hamelín vivió en su pequeña y hermosa ciudad con todos los mejores recursos y todas las cosas buenas que siempre quisieron. Compartían todo en común, a nadie le faltaba nada excepto a los que no querían ser carga para nadie.
La ciudad tenía un alcalde que estaba a cargo de todo lo que estaba pasando en la ciudad. El alcalde era un hombre muy pomposo porque sabía que todo el poder de la ciudad le pertenece y nunca se cansaba de hacer alarde de su riqueza a cualquiera que conociera recientemente. El Alcalde vivía en el mejor edificio de la ciudad y debido a su amor por la riqueza de su ciudad, siempre hizo todo lo posible para mantener ese puesto como Mayor.
A medida que pasaba el día, el Mayor se volvió cada vez más codicioso y comenzó a preocuparse menos por las necesidades de su gente, solo se preocupaba por sí mismo y su familia. La gente de Hamelín le tenía miedo al alcalde porque se ha convertido en un hombre muy despiadado, que no le importa matar a cualquiera que intente ir en su contra. El mayor sabía lo delicada que era la gente y lo usó para su propio beneficio.
Pasaron los días, pronto se convirtieron en semanas y así ya son 10 años desde que eligieron a este Alcalde, ya pasó el tiempo en que deberían haber seleccionado un nuevo Alcalde, normalmente cambian sus Mayores cada 5 años pero tenían miedo de incluso planteando ese tema en presencia del Alcalde. La gente de Hamelín se sintió realmente impotente porque no había nadie que pudiera enfrentarse al alcalde.
Las cosas estaban empeorando, la gente ahora moría de hambre porque el alcalde les había ordenado pagar un impuesto muy alto para el mantenimiento de la ciudad porque no podía quitarles sus derechos de propiedad de la tierra. La gente ahora tenía que vender los productos que obtenían de sus tierras de cultivo solo para pagar el impuesto. Después de cosechar en sus tierras de cultivo, van a las ciudades vecinas a venderles sus productos porque esas ciudades carecían de esas cosas. Al terminar de hacer sus ventas siempre van al mayor a hacer sus pagos y antes de darse cuenta tenían muy poco para cuidar a sus familias.
Mientras la gente de Hamelín sufría de hambre, el Mayor y su familia comían el gran botín y engordaban cada vez que la gente moría de hambre. Sucedió que había un niño que era huérfano, perdió a sus padres el mismo año en que se eligió al alcalde y siempre estaba triste de ver cómo el alcalde trataba a la gente de Hamelín porque los quería mucho. Dan, que resulta ser el niño, era un muy buen cantante, siempre le gustaba cantar cuando se sentía deprimido y eso lo hacía sentir mejor.
Un día, mientras Dan caminaba por un sendero solitario, vio a unos hombres golpeando a un anciano y reconoció que los hombres eran del alcalde por lo que rápidamente se escondió, vio cómo el anciano luchaba por sobrevivir y supo tenía que hacer algo para salvarlo, así que comenzó a hacer algunos sonidos muy divertidos y antes de que los hombres supieran lo que estaba pasando, vieron tantos gatos rodeándolos y pronto comenzaron a rebotar sobre ellos con sus patas y se dieron a la fuga para salvarlos. ellos mismos. El pequeño salió rápidamente de su escondite y corrió al encuentro del anciano y lo llevó a su casita para cuidarlo.
Después de unos días, el anciano recuperó la conciencia y estaba tan asombrado de ver al joven que lo salvó, lo apreció mucho por su amable gesto y también sintió curiosidad por saber cuán seguro un niño lo liberó de esos fuertes. hombres. El niño le narró la historia, pero el anciano aún no estaba satisfecho y preguntó más, pidiéndole al niño que le dijera cómo es que los gatos podían escuchar su extraño sonido y vinieron a ahuyentar a los hombres. No sé cómo logré que vinieran en mi ayuda, pero siempre hago ese sonido cuando necesito ayuda y siempre obtengo la ayuda que necesito, dijo Dan.
El anciano quedó muy impresionado y le dijo al Dan que tenía el poder para salvar a su gente y que todo lo que tenía que hacer era hacer que la gente recuperara su agujero nuevamente. Esa va a ser una tarea muy difícil de lograr, ya que la gente ya ha perdido la fe.h, dijo Dan. Pues entonces tendremos que encontrar una forma u otra para hacerles creer en ti, ya que esa es la única forma en que podrías salvar a tu amado pueblo de las manos de su malvado alcalde.
Dan no estaba seguro de cómo iba a hacer que su gente creyera en él, pero estaba seguro de que quería salvar a su gente del malvado alcalde. Después de mucha deliberación sobre cómo debería salvar a su gente, recordó que a la gente siempre le encantaba escuchar buena música y también sabía que la música era una muy buena sanadora de un alma rota. Dan hizo los preparativos necesarios para que las personas se reunieran en un lugar particular donde normalmente se sientan por la noche a la hora de acostarse.
Cuando Dan estuvo seguro de que todos estaban presentes, comenzó a hacer un sonido muy melodioso y emotivo y pronto toda la gente estaba muy animada porque ese era el sonido de la mejor canción de la ciudad que normalmente cantaban cuando estaban felices. Todos cantaron la canción a su gusto incluso mientras algunos bailaban con las melodías que hicieron. Dan, al ver que el estado de ánimo de la gente se había aligerado, rápidamente encontró una manera de llamar su atención sobre sí mismo y cuando lo hizo con éxito, les dijo algunas palabras realmente motivadoras y fue directo a todos sus corazones y estaban dispuestos a hacer frente al alcalde.
Al día siguiente, se suponía que la gente pagaría sus impuestos, pero para gran sorpresa del alcalde, ni siquiera vino una persona y esto lo enojó mucho y envió a sus muchachos a recordarle a la gente el impuesto pendiente, pero cuando llegaron , y trató de usar la fuerza en ellos como siempre lo hacía, la gente se levantó contra ellos y se sorprendieron y lograron correr para salvar sus vidas y fueron directamente al Mayor para contarle lo que encontraron. El alcalde estaba más enojado y rápidamente consiguió que más niños fueran a la gente, pero desafortunadamente para ellos, la gente los dominó y también los expulsó de la tierra.
Excellent storyline @hopestylist, very imaginitive and captivating, just like Dan!
Um, you should make it a habit to read your story out loud and look for errors, there are a few in your story.
"The city had a Mayor that was in charged" is the first, should be "that was in charge".
Awesome job!

Thank you so much @hivebuzz, I wish a buzzy week too ❤️.
Power corrupts absolutely. We see this in the Mayor here and all around us.
Yes that's right but it's not really for everyone. Some people are just so blinded by what they have and they soon start letting it control them. It's really hard not to overcome greed but it's very possible, but the major was not really to have compassion for his people.
I'm so glad you stopped by and I truly appreciate your comment, it only meant you understood my story and that's a plus for me, thank you so much sir Steve 🙏❤️.
