Melbourne, Nov 20 : The town of Hamelin is once again looking for a pied piper, after 700 years, to lure away the rats infesting its town.
The story of the ‘Pied Piper of Hamelin’ had originated centuries ago, and it is a fairy tale based on a mystery piper who got rid of the north German town’s rats by playing on his pipe.
Now, a modern-day piper is being sought to lure the rats away from the town, as its officials have reported an “explosion” in the rat population, reports the Daily Telegraph.
The cause of the increase in rat population has been attributed to a makeshift rubbish dump on the town''s fringes, which has been said to be a “takeaway” food centre for the rats.

The kitten was delivered by veterinarian George Huber and nurse Louisa Burgess, who said that she had never seen a two-faced cat in her 12-year career.
“I have seen cats with two tails and extra legs, but not this,” News. com. au quoted her as saying.
The little kitten does not have a name yet, but its owner is thinking of calling it Quasi Modo, according to local news website inmycommunity. com. au.
Melbourne, November 20 : Rumours are rife that a picture of golden girl Stephanie Rice in this month’s Inside Sport magazine was digitally treated to trim down her post-Olympic figure.

Graem Sims, the magazine’s editor, said that the image was only manipulated to "make her skintone look consistent", not to artificially trim down Rice’s post-Olympic frame.
"There was not much (air-brushing) to it, we didn''t really need to, she''s such a stunning girl," the Daily Telegraph quoted Sims as saying.
