Newtown is a clean place today. Many years ago there were millions of rats in Newtown. They attacked cats and dogs. Sometimes many of them knocked down a man or a woman at night. The rats were very big and they harmed many people.

The city office ordered everyone to kill the rats. Most people were lazy, so they did not kill many. Then the city office promised to pay some money for each dead rat. That made people very happy. They killed thousands of rats every day. A city official put all the dead rats together. Sometimes a man brought a hundred in one day.

After two weeks there were not many rats in the city, but people still brought many rats to the city office. The city official thought that people were stealing dead rats. He ordered his man to dig a hole and put all the dead rats in it. Soon there were no more rats, and the city office didn’t pay any more money.
