Heidi Page #2

Synopsis: Eight-year-old Heidi is orphaned and her selfish maternal Aunt Dete takes her to the mountains to live with Adolph Kramer, her grumpy, old, outcast, survivalist paternal grandfather.

When Aunt Dete steals Heidi away to be the companion of a rich man's invalid daughter, the grandfather is enraged and sets out to get her back. Back in Frankfurt, loved and adored by everyone she touches except the villainous housekeeper, Fraulein Rottenmeier, she thrives but is inwardly very sad and lonely. No matter what anyone tells her, Heidi, with faith, hope, and the stubbornness she inherited from her grandfather, knows that some day she will be reunited with the him and the beloved people of the mountain's little village.

I can dance all around

With the greatest of ease

I can jump from the ground

To the top of the trees

I'll tell you something

I'm going to try

Put on your shoes

and away we'll fly

We'll take a trip

wherever we choose

We'll dance and skip

in our little wooden shoes

How many miles

will you travel with me

One mile or two miles

and maybe three

We'll make a stop

wherever we choose

We'll skip and hop

in our little wooden shoes

Wasn't our journey

a nice holiday

We'll take another

some other day

We'll take a trip

wherever we choose

We'll dance and skip

in our little wooden shoes

- Hello.

- Oh!

- You come to see us?

- Yes, dear.

- I am Pastor Schultz.

- How do you do, Pastor Schultz?

How do you do, Frau Schultz?

Oh, no. I'm Fraulein Elsa,

the schoolmistress.

Oh, you'd make

a very nice Frau Schultz.

You're mending

your grandfather's coat. How nice.

It's his Sunday coat, but he never

wears it. He doesn't go to church.

Perhaps we could persuade him to go,

Would you like that?

The pastor and Fraulein Elsa

have come to see us. Isn't that nice?

- Good day, neighbor.

- Well?

- We've come to ask about the child.

- Go inside, Heidi.

Save your breath.

I have nothing to say to you.

- That seems to settle it.

- No, it doesn't.

I'm sorry to insist, neighbor,

but school will open soon.

- I'll not send Heidi to school.

- What will you do with her, then?

She will thrive up here

with the goats and the birds.

- What will she learn from them?

- At least she will learn no evil!

That's hardly enough

schooling for a child.

I'll teach her all that's necessary.

And you'll teach her religion too?

The mountains will teach her

the only religion worth having...

as I have found out.

Come back to Dorfli, neighbor. This is

no life up here for you and the child-

at enmity with God and man.

I know what they think of me in Dorfli,

and they know what I think of them.

- It's better that we keep apart.

- I should not like to appeal to the law.

Heidi shall not go to school

or to church, either. That is final!

I'm sorry, neighbor.

May God help you.

And if any man try

to take Heidi away from me...

God help him,!

I used to go to Sunday school

when I lived in Mayenfeld.

Are you going to be my

Sunday school teacher too?

We'll have our first lesson now.

I'd like to read this story.

Shall I?

"A certain man had two sons...

and the...

Y- O-U-N-G-E-R-"

Younger.

"and the younger of them

said to his father...

'Father, give me the P-O-R-"'

These are pretty hard words.

Perhaps you'd

better help me.

"Give me the portion of goods

that fall unto me. "

And he divided

unto them his levy...

and the younger son

gathered all together...
