Heidi A day on the ALM (13)

Heidi   A day on the ALM (13)

So the day passed quickly and the sun began to sink behind the mountains.

Heidi was sitting quietly on the ground, gazing at the cistus and the harebells which glistened in the evening sunshine; rocks and grass shimmered in a golden glow. 




Suddenly she jumped up and cried,
" Peter ! Peter ! They are on fire ! They are all on fire ! All the mountains are burning ! And the great snow mountain also, and the sky ! Oh, look at the lovely fiery snow ! Peter, get up and look ! The fire is at the great bird's nest, too. Look at the rocks and the fire trees ! Everything is on fire. "
