The Steel Pan Man of Harlem

Good old Harlem had many memories for me, some of them were good and some of them were bad. Though in the past, Harlem was home for rats and it wasn’t good. It was like a zombie apocalypse except the residents didn’t turn to zombies. The residents of Harlem weren’t enjoying the rathe-steel-pan-man-of-harlemt’s presence and it wasn’t good. They complained to the mayor, who was obviously frustrated at the the rat situation. However, one day there was a rat infestation at the subway. People were upset over this, suddenly, there was a man with a pan. He played it and then everyone was dancing. How did this happen? Due to his music. Everyone’s worries disappeared and even the rats were dancing. Soon, he ended the music which resulted in people stop dancing. They questioned him, and found out that the steel pan was the answer to the peace of Harlem.

The government found out what happened at the train. He told the Steel Pan Man if he could play his instrument to lead the rats out of Harlem. He agreed but asked for a price. The government agreed and as the Steel Pan Man played, the rats all followed him. He completed his mission, he came back to the government but the government refused to pay him, making the steel pan man angry. What do you think the Steel Pan Man will do? Will he do anything at all? Find out what happens next in the library!
