Heidi A day on the ALM (18)

Heidi   A day on the ALM (18)

Later, when Heidi sat in her high chair, the little bowl of milk in front of her and the grandfather at her side, she again asked her question.

" Why did the great bird scream at us, Grandfather ? "

" He screams in mockery of the people in the villages in the valley where they sit gossiping together.
He wants to say, " If you would all mind your own business or climb up into the heights like me you would be much happier ! "

The grandfather spoke these words with such vehemence that Heidi seemed to hear again the croaking of the great bird.

" Why don't the mountains have names Grandfather ? " asked Heidi again.
