Heidi A day on the ALM (1)

Heidi   A day on the ALM (1)

Early in the morning, Heidi was awakened by a loud whistle.

As she opened her eyes, a gleam of sunshine came through the little widow on to her bed and shone on the hay nearby so that everything was bathed in golden light.

Heidi looked puzzled and tried to think where she was.

Then, from outside, she heard the grandfather's deep, quite voice and she remembered that she was up on the ALM.

She no longer lived with old Ursel  who was almost stone deaf and always wanted to have Heidi by her side, so that sometimes the child had felt like a prisoner and would have liked to run away.

So she was very glad when she awoke and found herself in her new home.

She remembered all the exciting things she had seen the previous day and wondered what this new day had in store for her.

Above all she look forward to seeing the goats, Little Swan and Little Bear again.

Quickly she jumped out of bed and in a few minutes had dressed herself.

Then she climbed down the steps and run out to the front of the cottage.
