HEIDI (3)


Heidi couldn't wait to explore her new home.

The cottage was small but cozy.

There was one big room with a fireplace where all the cooking was done.

The only furniture was a table and chair, and Grandfather's bed.

In a corner stood a ladder.

Heidi climbed up and found herself in a tiny loft filled with fresh, sweet-smelling hay.

From a little widow she could seefar down into the valley.

" Oh, Grandfather, " cried Heidi, " Please let me sleep up here ! It's lovely ! "

So Grandfather brought sheets and blankets and make a snug little bed in the hay.

Then it was time to eat.

Supper was a large chunk of cheese, a thick slice of bread and a bowl of fresh goats' milk.
Everything was tasted delicious.

That night Heidi laty in her soft bed listening happily to the wind in the pine trees.

Soon she was fast asleep, dreaming of goats and mountains.
