Fritz put on the homemade Pied Piper cloak. Then he stood beside the pond and began to play. Several people stopped, among them a group of students with books under their arms.
"Is the young musician your brother?" asked one student of Mitzi.
"Yes," answered Mitzi. "And I am his sister."
| MITZI WAS HAPPY |
The youths laughed and gave her a coin.
"Play some Mendelssohn, young one," they said to Fritz.
The boy obligingly played what they requested. The audience grew. Some threw coins and asked Fritz to play certain tunes. He could play nearly everything they called for. Mrs. Toymaker had been a good teacher. Besides, Fritz could play anything after he had heard it once.
Mitzi was very happy. She beamed at the crowd of listeners.
