Sweet, simple...everything that the child asked, the piper did. The child reacts the way one would hope young children would during circle time--or story time. Stories should entertain, and tap into the emotional levels. The child disappeared (perhaps an angel), the the piper takes on the role of a writer. It's a nice switch from the oral tradition of story telling, to the recording (printing press) version of sharing stories.
In some ways, one could also interpret the scene as listening to what a child says. A child is happy with simple things, done with the heart.
