Prof. Robert Emerson and friends tell the story of the Pied Piper. Just as matters of heart are not generally matters for contract law, so, when there is a breach of contract, it is not viewed as a moral concern. Not bad, Not wrong: Businesses make choices. Sometimes they choose to breach. But they must then "Pay the Piper."

Based on your review of the content in the video and this weeks reading discuss whether or not the town had a contract with the Pied Piper.

If you were the Mayor of the town what would you do in this case when you had a need to get rid of the rats but did not have the money on hand to afford what the piper wanted to be paid?

Does it matter that the Piper was able to remove all the rats relatively easily in comparison to the amount of compensation he wanted?

In response to not being paid should the piper have led the children away? If not what should have been his response?
