Heidi A day on the ALM (10)

Heidi   A day on the ALM (10)

" Peter, " Heidi said presently, " the prettiest of all are Little Swan and Little Bear. "

" I know, " Peter replied.
" The uncle brushes and washes them, and gives them salt, and has the nicest shed. "

Suddenly Peter jumped up and bounded after the goats.
Heidi followed.

Something must have happened and simply could not stay behind.

Peter forced his way through the middle of the herd to that side of the Alm where the bare and jagged rocks fell away steeply.

Here, a heedless little goat might easily tumble down and break his leg.

Peter had noticed inquisitive little Goldfinch jumping in that direction.

The boy arrived just in time, for the little goat was just about to jump towards the edge of the precipice.

Peter, lunging towards the goat fell down and only managed to seize one of its legs as he fell.
