"Come here everyone!" "But let the small ones stand in front." "The last lesson was about a predator." "Hands off!" "The fox!" "A cunning thief." "Like Gusti, who's always copying off his neighbor." "Do you know what a fox eats?" "Chickens, beetles and mice." "Teacher!" "The day before last, a fox stole 3 chickens from us!" "Hear that!" "From your grandfather?" "From Peter the goat herd's mom." "You don't say." "By the way, where is Peter?" "Stop!" "Alp-hi!" "Can I help you?" "I was just on my way down." "Really?" "Are you on your way to school?" " Nah." "I don't have to go today." " Why not?" "I have a toothache." "Where does it hurt?" "Show me!" "Here in the front?" "No, all the way in the back!" "I can't see anything." "That's because the cavity is inside." "But it hurts SO much!" "And riding a sled helps?" "I figured it can't hurt, anyway." "And I can still go to school when I feel better." "Yes, I figure that can't hurt, anyway." "Heidi, I have a letter for you." "From Klara?" "From Frankfurt?" " Wait, that's for the grandfather." " Thank you." " Is it you, Heidi?" " Yes, Brigitte." " What's the matter with you?" " Here." "Oh no..." "Now I understand why she hasn't written in such a long time." "The poor girl!" "Now I know why they didn't come last summer." "She must have had a severe relapse." "And now she's back in her wheelchair." "But the doctor thinks she will completely heal someday." "Where's Peter?" "I thought you sent him home." "Me?" "He did not come to school." "Where was he then?" "He was sledding!" "He told me that he had a toothache!" "That he had to stay in bed!" "He skipped school once again." "Things can't continue with Peter like that." "He is probably too thick for school!" "He's not lacking in intelligence." "His only weakness is in reading!" "After Heidi came back from Frankfurt, he made big efforts for a while." "He just lacks the will!" "Talk to him, Alp-hi!" "I'm afraid that talking won't be enough." "But don't hit Peter!" " How about" " Wait a minute..." "I have an idea." "But nobody can say a word!" "That means you too, Heidi." "Otherwise it won't work!" "Quiet!" "Quiet, I sad!" "If you only knew what *I* know!" "What day is today?" "Thursday, December 6th." "Today Saint Nick comes to visit the children!" "But he never came to us!" "Yes, unfortunately!" "I don't know why." "Maybe we're too far away!" "Maybe." "Now, pay attention." "Earlier, I saw something unusual in the school playground: a donkey." "He was laden with bags and a stake." "That's nonsense." " You've never seen him before." " He doesn't exist, anyway." "Or have you?" "Heidi?" "In Frankfurt, he is called Knecht Ruprecht." "How interesting." "And what did he look like?" "He has a long white beard and wears a red coat." "He didn't have a stake with him, he was very nice." "Then you were lucky." "Saint Nick can also behave quite differently!" "Yes, Seppli?" "Like in the tale "The Struwwelpeter", where he sticks bad boys in a barrel." "And leaves them to rot." "He is a tough fellow." "Here, he wears a brown coat." "And rings a bell." "Ridiculous." "He takes lazy boys with him to the Black Pastures!" "How does he know which boys are lazy?" "Heidi?" "Saint Nick knows everything." "Hush!" "I heard it ring." "Look at that." "Remain seated!" "Please come in." "Good evening, Saint Nick." "I know you all." "Your name is Marteli." "You are a good kid." "You take care of your little brothers at home." "Seppli always annoys the girls!" "He's pulling their hair." "Yesterday he threw my snack in the mud." " With purpose?" " No, with butter." "You rascal!" "And you Ameli always tattle on the others." "And Ruedi should watch his language." "Don't swear about everything!" "Actually, I am satisfied with all of you." "All except one..." "Oh!" "Come forward to me!" "Me?" "Come forward, to me!" "So you're the one who can't even read." " It's not my fault!" " I'm taking you with me!" "Please Saint Nick, don't take Peter!" " He'll make big efforts to learn!" " Yes I will, I will!" "Do you promise it?" "And will you keep that promise?" "Good." "I give you another chance." "And now, tuck in!" "Alright children, now you can go home." "Teacher, Saint Nick looks like Alp-hi!" "You don't say." "Run along now!" "You got lucky this time." "But now you need to work hard." "What did Marteli mean?" "That Saint Nick looked like Alp-hi?" "Maybe they're in league together." "You better pay attention and remember your promise." "Alright, I'll keep my promise." "We'll start right after we get home." "Hey, what's the big rush." "You'd better do it or I'll grow tired of helping you." "Mother!" "Mother!" "She is not here." "She'll probably be back right away." "Now where is my reading book...?" "You can't even find it." "Take mine!" "Let us not waste any time." "I'll pick out a story for you." "Start here!" "The wandering stranger... in a... with a... to... and ate ..." "You're skipping all the nouns!" "Who cares about those!" "A family was sitting around the table eating..." "P o r r i d... ..ridge!" "Why a ridge?" " P o r r i d g e." " Oooh..." "There was a knock at the door." "Now we'll read a bit together." "Be welcome in our small cabin, the mother kindly said." "Elderly gentleman looking for agreeable gentlewoman  for friendship and marriage if affinity." "Why don't you ever play in front of people?" "I don't play in front of strangers!" "But your father would like that so much!" "He was very offended that you didn't play for his friends." "I just can't do it." "I dreamed of Heidi last night." "We were together on the mountain." "Can we go see her next summer?" "This is for Dr. Classen to decide." "Tinette, you may clean up." "ButI'm afraid he won't agree to such an adventurous undertaking." "Is this yours?" "Give it to me!" "May I ask, Ms. Rottenmeyer, why you are so against that trip?" "I have my reasons, even if I don't like to mention them." "Sebastian was in Switzerland when he brought Heidi home." "He can attest that it is a terrible country." " Sebastian?" " Beg pardon?" "Oh, uhm..." "Sebastian, tell us of your adventures!" "I've already forgotten about it." "What was that with the bridge?" "It wasn't really a bridge." "A tree trunk spanned the deep ravine we had to cross." " It didn't even have a guard rail." " How terrible!" "The river was roaring below us!" "I carefully set one foot before the other." "One wrong step, and  I would have certainly drowned." " You hear that, Klara." " I do indeed!" "But that was nothing compared to the wall we had to climb." "The rock was as smooth as glass and overhanging in places!" "I had to put on climbing irons, slowly pulling up the precipice." "My feet were hanging over the void with the ground 3000 feet below me." " And then the bull came!" " Yes, on the pasture." "Suddenly he stood before me." "Staring at me with bloodshot eyes." "I tried to calm the ferocious beast." "I told him "Here my friend, now be a good boy!"" "But then he came running." "Steam pouring from his nostrils." "And then I flew through the air..." "And Heidi?" "What Heidi?" "Oh, she was kicked too!" "We landed almost side by side." "And then we saw the village." "You are talking nonsense, Sebastian!" "I do apologize sir." "Miss Rottenmeyer asked me to tell about the trip." "He may have exaggerated a little." "But there is some truth!" "Nonsense." "But Miss Rottenmeyer, Sebastian never went further than the train station." "Heidi wrote me that the mailman drove her to the village." "So it couldn't be that bad!" "Papa, can I visit Heidi soon?" "That depends on your condition." "If your health keeps improving, we'll travel together." "I promise you that." "An exam question:" "Does anyone know what a one franc coin looks like?" "I'm sure you've all seen one." "Seppli?" "It says "One Swiss Franc" in the front." "There's a ring around it." "You're sure it's a ring?" "Anneli!" "It is a wreath." "That's better!" "And what is it made of?" "Even adults don't always know that." "It's made of oak leaves and alpine roses." "Very good." "And what's on the other side?" "A figure." " A woman." " There are stars around it." "Stars, you say." "How many?" " Miss Ann-Marteli?" " 100?" "100?" "No, definitely not." "There wouldn't be enough room." "You?" "Four." "There are 22 stars." "And why 22?" " Every star represents a Canton." " Very good." "And what about that figure?" " Heidi?" " She is Swiss." "Teacher." "It's Federal Chancellor Kalander's wife." "Not quite." "This woman is Helvetia." "Does anyone know who Helvetia is?" "You, Heidi?" "Helvetia is not a real woman." "But she is a symbol of Switzerland." "Well said." "We will now read about Helvetia." "Any volunteers?" "Peter!" "Start here." ""Mother Helvetia." "Everyone has seen her... portrait." "Her name stands for the brave Helvetic people who lived in our country since before the birth the Christ." "Today, Helvetia represents our home." "This noble female figure is therefore a symbol."" "I am very pleased with you!" "Pastor?" "He has made great progress." "How did you do that?" "It is not my merit." "Let Peter tell about it himself." "Well it's..." "That is to say, I..." "Heidi helped me, almost every day." "I don't know, she is simply..." "Quite simply, our Heidi is a treasure." "Yes, Heidi is my treasure!" "We all know what Peter meant." "Now let us sing "When the sun shines in the morning"." "Good day, doctor!" "Good day Sebastian." "Today is the day." " Eh?" " I said "Today is the day!"" "I can't hear a thing." "What did you say?" "I said:" "Today is the day." "Yes indeed." "We're leaving in one hour." "I prefer a horse and carriage over these newfangled things." "But they are not as fast!" "Here, allow me." "This beauty can drive up to 20 MPH." "20 MPH, imagine that!" "If it works!" "Is Lord Sesemann upstairs?" "Yes, he is waiting for you." "I would like to take the embroidered jacket." "It's cold up in the pastures." "Tinette, please be more careful!" "We're not going to the pastures but to Bad Ragaz, for a cure." "There is bound to be dancing in the evenings, Miss Rottenmeyer." "The medicine goes in the small suitcase." "One may make encounters there..." "Tinette!" "Such insinuations will not be tolerated." "Doctor!" "Ladies!" "Miss Rottenmeyer, you look younger every time." "How do you do that?" "Will you tell me your secret?" "I could use some of that medicine." "But doctor!" "You flatter me." "I have no secret." " Please do excuse me..." " By all means." "I just came to wish my little patient a good journey." "I hope you'll recover there!" "Do you promise me to get well?" "Yes, doctor." "If you please, doctor." " Send me a postcard, alright?" " I will definitely write you!" "I'm glad you're here, Classen." " Close the door" " What's wrong?" " Shall I bring down the baggage?" " Only mine." "Not the others." "You heard right!" "Now leave us alone." " Classen, I am in a heap of trouble." " Why?" "I'm afraid we must cancel the trip again." "Don't do that to your child." "I'm warning you." "She'll have a relapse." "I expect the baths will do a lot of good." "But I expect a reunion with Heidi will do much more good still." "Can't the Rottenmeyer..." "No." "I promised Klara that she won't have to travel alone." "Couldn't your mother accompany Klara?" "I asked her yesterday." "She's unable to come." "Classen..." "Forget it, I can't help you either." "I must take care of my patients." "Then I don't know what to do." "Sebastian!" "You may now take my baggage." "Yes, yes, certainly." "Close the window!" "One does not shout across the courtyard!" " Is the wheelchair coming too?" " What a question." "Of course!" " But I feel splendid." " You could have a relapse any time." "The chair will be picked up and sent there by train." "Here, you can take that." "I look so forward to that trip!" "Of course, of course." "However..." "I believe I should tell you a story." "When I was little " " I was wearing shorts and a cute little hat..." "We once waited in the street for the Emperor to come." "We waited and waited and were still there in the evening." "He never came." "What are you trying to tell me?" "Nothing." "I just wanted to chat." "I wasn't trying to tell you anything." "Sebastian!" "Sebastian!" "Seb..." " Daddy, we are still going, yes?" " Why do you ask?" "Sebastian..." "So he eavesdropped again!" "Come here, my child." "Come, sit down." "You know that your daddy has to work." "I must leave on a business trip." "So we are not going then." "But you promised me!" "Come, come, Klara." "The trip is only delayed." "You always say that." "I will never see Heidi again." "Don't make it so hard for me." "Lord Sesemann." "Sebastian, you are an ass!" "At your service, Lord Sesemann." "Mom!" "Looks like I got here just in time." "I rescheduled everything." "I drove through the night, and here I am." "Stop crying, Klara." "I'm going with you." "Grandma." "*We* will go see Heidi!" "H e i d i !" "I'm coming!" "We're taking him, too." "You are too heavily loaded!" "We must finish the roof soon." "Go inside and check whether everything is sealed." "There's still a small hole there." "Here, that's taken care of!" "Now the grandfather can't forbid you to come to the pasture anymore." "We have our own little cabin." "The rain can't bother us anymore." "Out with you!" "I won't have animals in my living room!" "I like the cabin, it's almost done!" "But there is still a lot to do!" "Walls, windows  a door--with a lock, so that not just anybody can walk in!" " and over there..." " over there?" "... a corner bench, a table and a closet." " What about the wood?" " I can get the wood from Alp-hi." "He said that if I can get his goats to produce more milk, he'll give me some!" "I may even be able to add a stable!" " There's more important." " What's that?" "Oh, you men!" "What it mainly needs is a kitchen!" "Then I could cook you something." "Speaking of which, I'm hungry." "There's a letter from Klara!" "Oh yeah, the postman told me to bring it for you." "From Ragaz?" "...and I didn't wanted to write you until it was certain... that I could come visit you." "I'll be here in the next few days." "How long have you had this letter?" "Dunno." "Wednesday or Tuesday I guess." "But today is Friday!" "And you moron only hand it to me now." " I must go back at once!" " Why?" "Maybe she's already coming today!" "And I'm not there to greet her." "Let me go!" "Wait, Heidi!" "You should eat something first!" "Klara!" "It's her, grandma!" "Help me get up!" "Heidi!" "My dear Heidi." "I ran so hard!" "Peter forgot the letter..." "Calm down!" "First say hello to Mrs. Sesemann." "I'm all confused." "I have waited for her for weeks." "And now you're all here." "Klara, Miss Rottenmeyer and you, gracious Madam." "For you, I'm still grandma." "Grandfather, come quick!" "The Frankfurters have arrived!" "It's beautiful here." "You can see the whole valley." "You described it well, Klara." " It smells of herbs..." " And goats!" "Good day." "Mrs. Sesemann!" "Klara!" "Miss Rottenmeyer!" "The legendary Alp-hi!" "So you finally dared to come?" "Heidi!" "Get some milk for our guests!" "You will take a glass of milk, won't you?" "Oh yes, please!" "I would like some raspberry juice." "But it's fresh goat milk!" " Just water, then." " As you wish." "How is Lord Sesemann?" "And Sebastian?" "And Tinette?" "Klara will tell you everything." "What a lovely spot!" "The good Lord must have worked on a Sunday for it." " Don't you agree?" " If you ask me, ma'am..." "It may be pretty here, but also primitive." "That's exactly why I like it!" "I hope you'll enjoy it." "I'm sure the milk is from little swan and little bear." "Where are they, anyway?" "High up, on the pasture." "Hello, Mr. goat herd!" "Hello." "Is this a telescope?" "Almost." "This is a theodolite." "A theodolite?" "It's used to measure horizontal and vertical angles." "You get it?" "More or less." "It took me a while to understand it too." "Here, take a look!" "Holy cow!" "The entire Canton of Grisons seems to jump in your face!" "You can slew like this." " Here, I caught him!" " Let me see." "I don't believe it!" "Mr. Zollinger, look!" "We've heard marmots whistle all day long  but we never saw one." "How did you find them?" "It's not difficult when you know their hiding place." "What are you doing here?" "A map." "You'll be wakened by the sunshine." "It wakes me up every day." "We must leave." "Grandma!" "I can see the valley!" "Careful!" "You could fall to your death." "That's not a problem." "Turn around, Klara!" "And now, go step by step." "See, that works nicely." "You do this perfectly." "We are not savages." " May I ask you something?" " Please do." "Why can't Klara stay with us for a while?" "In our Hotel Alpine." "I was just thinking that too!" "You can't be serious, Mrs. Sesemann." "We were really going to do a little trip across Switzerland." "But I think a second cure here would do Klara much more good." "Grandma, you're an angel." "I'm going back to Bad Ragaz." "Mrs. Rottenmeyer could find a room in the village." "What do you think?" "You command and I obey, ma'am." "But we don't have any clothes for Klara!" "Tomorrow we'll send for all her stuff." " What about the wheelchair?" " That too." "Please, it's not a big deal." "We're set." "Good." "Let's go, dear Miss Rottenmeyer." "Peter the goat herd is coming!" "For heaven's sake, boy, take those beasts away!" "It's nice to meet you at last!" "Hello." "You must speak High German with the ladies." "Unfortunately they are just leaving." "Farewell, dear child." "Goodbye, grandma." "What about her?" "Klara is staying with us!" "Oh yeah?" "For how long?" "For as long as she wants to." "And you?" "You'll have to go to the pasture by yourself for a while." "Don't make such a grim face!" "I'll give you Heidi's food instead." "What did you say?" "Nothing, and I'm not saying anything now." "I say only this:" "May the devil take that city slicker!" "It's a pretty house, Peter." " Are you thinking of becoming a mason?" " No!" "Do you want to remain a goat herd all your life?" "Never!" "What do you want to be one day?" "Do you remember what a theodolite is?" "It's an instrument to make maps." "What else does one need for that?" "Hmm... one must be good at maths!" "What's that: a stone with a cross on it?" "A triangulation point." "The boy has remembered a lot in the three weeks!" " Would you like to be a geometer later?" " Sure do!" "That's the spirit!" "Tell me, why is that?" "Because I could stay in the mountains." "Not bad." "But how would I become one?" "First you have to go to high school, and then do a technical formation." " Is that very expensive?" " Yes, I'm afraid so." "Then it's out of the question for me." "We have no money." "There's always a way." "Once you're done, you'll be making money." " How much?" " Enough to live well on it." "Is it enough for two people?" "Do you have to care for someone?" " Do you have a sweetheart?" " You can tell us." "We are all men here." "Heidi is not my sweetheart!" "She doesn't even know it." "It's no laughing matter." "I just know her well." "We live together in the winter time." "She upstairs, I downstairs." "We sled to school together." "Is she pretty?" "Dunno." "She's beautiful to me!" "I don't look at other girls." "But perhaps other guys look at Heidi?" "I already beat up one guy." "That's stupid!" "What?" "Usually she comes with me to the pasture daily." "I made this cabin for the two of us." "Well... and now?" "Now she's babysitting a german missy who's taller than me." "She can't even walk, the silly cow!" "You are not exactly happy." "Do you know what she calls me?" ""Boy"!" "And I'm a bloke." "You ought to see her." "She wears gloves in the middle of summer." "Heidi could really come with me again for a day." "And you want to marry Heidi later?" "What else?" "Alright, the weather's good enough for us to work again." "I met my wife at your age too." "You must always keep your goal in front of you, like  a triangulation point?" "Exactly." "Good day, Mrs. Sesemann!" "Come inside." "Miss Rottenmeyer told me that you would be coming today." "And on foot, even!" "Unfortunately, I am just making cheese." "Don't let me disturb you." "Where are the children?" "Outside somewhere." "Outside...?" "How could you, after all that rain!" "Everything is still wet!" "Excuse me, Mrs. Sesemann." "I'll fetch Klara at once!" "Silly goose." "She probably means well." "But she should stop grumbling about Klara." "It's like she suffers when Klara isn't in that wheelchair." "Where are those brats now?" "Miss Rottenmeyer!" "But Klara!" "Have you lost your mind?" "Get in the chair at once, and back to the cabin with you!" "Your grandmother is here." "I have often been thinking about your grandchild." "Trust me on that." "She can stand she can walk, just like anybody else." "But she doesn't stand in life!" "She only has Heidi." "But Klara was really sick." "But now she's healthy again." "It is time to confront her with reality." "That she takes an interest in what's happening around her." "I feel sorry for her." "What will happen when she gets back home?" "And everybody is waiting on her in her parlor?" "If I may give you a piece of advice change this state of things." "Grandma, grandma!" "I will speak with my son when he comes home." "And please, give him the same advice you just gave me." "Klara." "You look magnificent." "Greetings, Heidi!" "I must compliment the physician of the Hotel Alpine!" "You've got red cheeks!" "That's from all the running around." "She's all flushed." "Are you here to take Klara back?" "No my child, she's staying with you for another week." "Come here, Peter!" "What do you want?" "Heidi taught me this song." "I would love to hear you two yodel together." "I have no reason to yodel." "Why not?" "Because I don't want to." "You're a disgusting swine!" "Let me do this, I want to give him a piece of my mind!" "You don't talk with me anymore." "I won't let you do anything you want with me!" "She is your new best friend, isn't she." "Why doesn't she sing a german yodel with you." "Peter!" "I don't know what's the matter with him." "This is outrageous!" "Peter the goat herd is an impudent rascal!" "I would not deal with him anymore." "I don't know what's gotten into him." "That's why I gave him a piece of my mind." "Usually he's such a nice guy." "Really?" "And you, boy, you're sure that nothing happened to Klara." "How often are you going to ask me that." "I was at the cabin, the two were sitting in the front." "They were singing." "Then suddenly, the empty wheelchair rushed past me!" "So you don't have to worry about it." "Worry, teacher?" "Of course I'm worried!" "Miss Klara is dependent on this wheelchair." "I must go up there early in the morning." "We're going home." "Somebody gave that chair a push." "How much do you think such a chair is worth?" "At least 250 francs." "The guilty must pay." "And if he can't, he's going to jail." "Don't think that this is the end of it." "I'm reporting this case to the police." "If you don't admit that you pushed the wheelchair you're going straight to jail!" "No, no!" "The sun will bring everything to light..." "Alp-hi!" "You are no longer my darling." "I never, ever want to see you again." "Heidi!" "I'm reporting the case to the police." "Peter!" "What's wrong?" "You are completely distraught." "I haven't closed an eye all night." " Is there something wrong?" " No!" "Yes!" "No!" "I had a bad dream." "They were trying to catch me!" " Who?" " The police... err, the robbers!" "Where's my food?" "Same place as always." "I've been searching for an hour." "I know I put it there." "That's strange." "I know I put the wheelchair there." "I'm absolutely positive." " Maybe it's a good thing that it's gone." " Why is that?" "I don't need it anymore!" "Could it be that..." "...nothing." "Let us look everywhere again." "Come, Klara!" "Thank God!" "Here at least I am reasonably safe!" "Why?" "What happened?" "It was horrible!" "A bull!" "A bull has been following me!" "Where?" "Down there." "He stood in the pasture and stared at me." "That must have been a cow." "No, it was a bull!" "With such horns!" "He came closer, lowered his head lifted his tail..." "And then?" "And then something Unmentionable happened." "But that's not why I'm here." "A man brought the remains of the wheelchair to the village yesterday." "You don't say." "I hope that the culprit will be found out before long." "I have my suppositions." "So you suspect someone?" "Me too." "I will now immediately pack up Klara's things." "Do not bother, Miss Rottenmeyer." "Klara stays here!" "Who gives you the authority to decide this?" "Myself!" "Then you are making a grave error." "You caveman!" "You barbarian!" "It is beneath my dignity to argue with you." "I was right to do all I could for two years to prevent this trip." "I will beat my retreat." "But I will contact Mrs. Sesemann, who ist going to" "Do that." "But I suggest you hurry." "An Alpabfahrt will pass through here any minute." "What is that?" "A herd of cows will be driven past here." "Great God!" "You!" "You are forgetting your umbrella." "What happened?" "Miss Rottenmeyer has left us." "The bull!" "Dear God..." "Alp-hi!" "Help!" "Peter is here!" "You, listen..." "No time." "Bring your goats!" "And your food?" "Don't want it." "Why not?" "Not hungry." "Stop!" "Come here!" "There's something I must discuss with you." "Sit down!" "Why are you so late?" "I could not sleep." "Had a stomach ache." "From what?" "The wind!" "There was a cold wind yesterday." "The baker has found the wheelchair." "He did, did he." "That's why I need your help." "There's something I don't understand." "Maybe you can help me." "Where exactly did you pass with the goats, yesterday?" "Here at the cabin." "From here to there." "But the chair was already gone!" "Aha, you see, this is important." "When I was down there, it just rushed past me!" "I barely managed to jump aside." "Explain something to me." "How is it that the chair could rush past you... ..if it was gone by the time you passed here?" "Open the window!" "It's best to let it out." "Your lie!" "You would have earned it!" "But I have something else for you." "A franc?" "Why?" "Because the wheelchair is finally where it belongs." "In that hole below!" "And besides, you've had to do without Heidi for 3 weeks." "That can't be easy." "That's true, Alp-hi!" "But this remains between us!" "What if the police get here?" "Just let me worry about that!" "Good morning, Klara, how are you?" "I'm well enough to go up to the pasture with you." "Then come with me." "Grandfather, may we go?" "Alright." "But don't overwork Klara!" "And don't come home too late." "The weather's changing." "Come!" "The mountains!" "The mountains!" "What do you think, Peter?" "Heidi!" "Are you asleep?" "Oh please, please!" "Wake up, Heidi!" "What's wrong?" "I am scared!" "Let's hope the village won't be flooded again." "The lightning just struck!" "That was nearby." "You don't need to be afraid." "But I am so scared!" "You don't even have a lightning rod!" " We're surrounded by pine trees." " But everything's made of wood!" "Calm down." "I'm not afraid." "It's almost over." "Why did I ever come to these bloody mountains!" "How can you say that?" "I'm sorry, Heidi." "But I've never experienced such a night." "Hear that?" "The thunder is already far away." "But there's still lightning!" "Have no fear!" "This is quite natural." "I'm not afraid either." "Lightning is like a crack in the ceiling." "And through it you can see the golden heavens." "Who told you that?" "Grandfather did." "Come, let us look at Heaven together." "Alp-hi, we can't sleep!" "I must go to the village." "The alarm bell is ringing." "You are going out?" "But how can you leave us here alone!" "Don't be afraid." "Things like that happen in the mountains." "Get dressed." "You are safe here." "I'm terrified!" "If the cabin catches fire, we'll burn!" "I must go with him!" "Alp-hi!" "What's going on?" "Klara ran away, she wanted to go after you!" " You haven't seen her?" " For God's sake!" "Take that jacket for Klara!" "Alp-hi!" "Sit down next to the oven!" "How could you do such things?" "She needs dry clothes!" "Let me see what I have." "Where are you going?" "I have to release the goats." "I'm coming." "Be careful!" "Why didn't you stay in the cabin?" "It wasn't Heidi's fault." "It was really not her fault." "It's my fault." "I was so terrified." "I just lost my head." "The brook!" "Heidi and Peter are outside!" "How are things, teacher?" "Nobody got injured." "And no one is missing." "Let us be grateful for that." "And the children?" "They are in bed." "Alp-hi is with them." "We must finally tame that brook." "But where would we ever find the necessary money?" "Even if the Confederation and the Canton helped out..." "Keep your head up." "We'll find a way." "We should have a fundraiser!" "Or an event!" "But who would ever come to see us!" "Let us have a fundraiser in Maienfeld!" "On the main square." "Not a bad idea!" "Let us consider this in detail." "Does everybody have coffee?" "If we do this right, we'll get the help we need." "That looks terrible." "Hold it, hold it!" "Wait, I'll help you!" " I don't know this road at all!" " The other road is buried." "We are very grateful that you show us the way." "Alp-hi!" "Mrs. Sesemann!" "This is my son." " Sorry, my hands..." " Please, no fuss!" "Just tell me one thing, how is my daughter?" "See that girl over there?" "Daddy!" "Dear child, I can't even recognize you!" "And you are helping out here?" "Everyone must do their part." "Such a disaster can happen again anytime." "But not once the course of the brook is corrected." "I am sure the event in Maienfeld will succeed." "The Army sends the cavalry band." "Daddy, I have an idea--Heidi and Peter could yodel!" "We could have a fundraiser in the cure hotel in Ragaz." "I will take care of that!" " Who are you bringing here?" " These are my friends, sir." "Alright children, here we go!" "Come, Klara!" "Daddy, I know that song." "I could accompany them on the piano." " You play in front of all these people?" " Why not?" " Looks yummy, doesn't it?" " Yes, very much so!" "But you already ate." "One moment." "Pardon me, ma'am..." " I'll save it for you." " Ladies and gentlemen there is a fundraiser in Maienfeld to aid a mountain village." "Allow me to ask you sincerely for your contribution at that event." "And in order to get you going  two children from the village are going to sing for you." "Let's go!" "No, no!" "We yodel first!" "(The children sing a song about the beauty of mountain life)" "And now: on to Maienfeld!" "We've set the ball rolling!" "Yes, the young people have done well." "Come on, Alp-hi!" "Let us have a little fun too." "Here Sebastian, let the good times roll!" "Most profound thanks!" "And let me challenge you to a shooting match." "If you say so." "Watch out, I was once a good hunter." " We could buy Miss Rottenmeyer something." " But what?" "How about a model of a chalet?" "That fits perfectly!" " By the way: she gave us notice." " Is that true, Sebastian?" "This time it worked." "An upper class widower." "Protestant, loves music and animals." "We still have to pay." "How much is it?" " 3 francs 50." " 3.50, there you are." "Three points." "Ah, the devil knows what's wrong with me today." " Another bullseye and you get a prize." " Don't push me!" "We won!" "What would you like?" "Pick something!" " How about we switch guns?" " Sure!" "I'll take the cow!" "Here you are." "Not even on target!" "I give up." "After all, this is William Tell's country." "Grandma, Miss Rottenmeyer is getting married!" "May I sit here?" "Many thanks, innkeeper." "That's the life I like!" "Cheers!" "Come on, children." "Are you happy, Alp-hi?" "We won the battle." "It is hard for me to leave, I must travel on today." "We'll take you to the car!" "Well children, do you have a wish?" "I would help you out anytime." "Please allow me to interfere." "It's because of Peter." "I know that I am asking much." "But I happen to know what Peter would like to become..." "And now for the grand prize!" "And the winning number is... 334!" "Here!" "Pork is supposedly lucky!" "Lord Sesemann will be pleased!" "We still have to pick up the baggage in the hotel." "Say hi to the pasture for me, Peter." "Don't forget me, Heidi." "Stay well!" "Good bye, Heidi, and thanks a million!" "Peter!" "Keep hard at work!" "I heard that you would like to continue your education." "Hold on to that goal." "I'll take care of the tuition." " Really?" " I do hit the mark every now and then!" "Thank you so much!" "Please take that." "Thank you Peter." "All aboard!" "All aboard, ladies and gentlemen!" "Tickets, please!" "Yes, pork is lucky." "Sebastian!" " Better not let him drive." " Take it, Peter!" "Take a seat, sir." "Excuse me..." "Yes, you'll do nicely." "Goodbye!" "Goodbye!" "Come on Heidi!" "Let us go to our cabin."
