HEIDI (12)

(6)AN EVENTFUL DAY

When Heidi woke up the next morning, she was in a high white bed in a large room.

She blinked and rubbed her eyes, trying to think where she was.

Suddenly she rememberedーthis was Frankfurt !

Heidi jumped out of bed, got dressed and crept behind the long, heavy curtains to look outside.

All she could see was the house across the street.
There were no trees or green fields.

As Clara couldn't go to school, a teacher gave her lessons at home, and Heidi was going to share those lessons.

After breakfast, she went into the study with Clara.

Halfway through the morning, Fräulein Rottenmeier heard a loud commotion in the study.

She rushed in to find the whole room in an uproar.

Books, papers and pens were scattered everywhere.
And there was no sign of Heidi.



" What the meaning of this ? " cried Fräulein Rottenmeier.
" And where is adelheid ? "
