History
"AHH-CHOO!" I sneezed while cleaning the old attic in my mom's ancestral house. I had discovered that place just the day before while playing hide and seek with my cousins. As I was searching for a place to hide, the old wooden door creaked and ahoy!The Room of Requirement in my mom's house was discovered.As I was walking by, I bumped into a cabinet and there was a rain of soot,dirt and books over me. 'Hmmm, Mogambo khush hua...' I thought and sure enough, today I managed to ...sneak up two ice creams to the attic and made up my mind to read each and every book present there. After I was done clearing up the space, I grabbed the nearest book and randomly flipped it open only to see a messy picture of Chengis Khan jumping up and down. Curious, I started reading the story. The story began with a picture of the citizens of Mongolia. They had beards which were atleast 2 metres longer than Dumbledore's, the person whose beard I considered to be the longest till then. Babies had tiny moustaches and beggars used their beards as blankets. It was an honour to have beards in Mongolia. As I turned to the next page, I couldn't control it anymore and started laughing until I was clutching my sides and tears were streaming out of my eyes. It was a picture of Chengis Khan and seven people were holding his enormously long moustache and walking with him. The people of Mongolia were prosperous until that fateful day...... The villagers had come to plead for justice to the emperor when suddenly, they started jumping. Chengis was bewildered. Then slowly, his ministers also started jumping clutching their beards and no sooner was Chengis too jumping! It was an epidemic of bedbugs!!!!
The ministers of Mongolia could not think of anything to do until his youngest minister told him the story of the Pied Piper... of Hamlin and the wonders he had done at Hamlin. Chengis gave orders to call the Pied Piper immediately to Mongolia. After a day's time, the Pied Piper arrived in Mongolia. He wore bright orange coloured robes and had a pointed hat on his head( very much like Gilderoy Lockhart) and held a long brass pipe. After hearing Chengis Khan's bug infested story, he promised to drive the bedbugs away only if he would get 10000 gold coins. In desperation Chengis told him that he could also take 1000 sheep along with the coins. So, the Piper told him to tell all the people of Mongolia to assemble in the main street and light up a huge fire. Night came. The people came and wanted to see whether the Piper really possessed such powers. After making the people stand in a circle, The Piper began to play a tune worse than the sound of finger nails scratching a black board. But, in front of their own eyes, The people saw the bedbugs leaping into a fire. The air smelled disgustingly of fried bedbugs. But anyways, the trouble was gone and celebrations were on! The Piper approached Chengis and asked for his reward but as expected, Chengis refused! The Piper was livid. He swore for vengeance and started playing a tune which uprooted the beards of the citizens of Mongolia! Chengis started searching every where for the Piper, who had just disappeared the other night but was not successful. It was because of this that Chengis beheaded every person he met in the hope of killing the Piper. And so, one of the most baffling cases of mystery in history was solved and henceforth the citizens of Mongolia had clean shaved faces from that day on!!
