Reading Skills

This is a story about an old town called Hamelin in Germany. About 500 years ago,
the people who lived in this town were very unhappy. They were unhappy because

the town was full of rats.

There were rats everywhere - in the fields, gardens, houses, and even in people’s

shirt pockets, hats and shoes. The rats ran about and ate all the food they could find.
