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.

and took his journey

into a far country.

You know this story by heart.

Yes. By heart.

Does the son ever go

home to his father?

And the son said...

"Father, I have sinned

against heaven...

and in thy sight...

and am no more worthy

to be called thy son. "

But the father said

to his servants...

"Bring forth the best robe,

and put it on him...

and put a ring on his hand

and shoes on his feet...

for this my son was dead

and is alive again.

He was lost...

and is found. "

"If a man have a hundred sheep...

and one of them be gone astray...

doth he not leave

the 90 and 9...

and goeth into

the mountains...

and seeketh that

which has gone astray?

And if-"

Peter, what is it?

The grandfather and Heidi

have come to church.

"And if so be that he find it...

verily, I say unto you...

he rejoiceth more of that sheep...

than of the 90 and 9

which went not astray. "

Holy God we praise thy name

Lord of all

we bow before thee

All on earth

thy scepter claim

All in heaven above

adore thee

Fill the heavens

with sweet accord

Holy, holy holy, Lord

Holy

Holy, holy Lord

Good day, Adolph.

Good day.

Good to see you and the child.

You're looking well.

Here comes the grandfather now.

So the old eagle

has come down from his perch.

It was lonely for Heidi.

Adolph, you're an old fraud.

Don't give me away.

Well-

I ask the Herr Pastor to forgive

the words I said on the mountain.

The words are forgotten, neighbor.

This is a happy day for all of us.

I hope we shall

see you here often.

- What do you say, Heidi?

- Well, I think everybody...

really ought to

go to church on Sunday...

and I think there

ought to be a Frau Schultz.

Aunt Dete, what-

what do you want here?

Where's your grandfather?

He's up on the mountain

cutting some logs.

Get on your coat and mittens.

We're going away.

I don't want to go away!

- What?

- I want to stay here.

I love the grandfather,

and he loves me.

It's my birthday,

and we're going to have a party.

Look. He made me

these for a present.

There's Swanly and Bearly. And we're going

down to the village to get sausage and butter...

because the grandmother

and Peter are coming.

Well, he won't mind you

going on a little trip with me.

- Where?

- Just to Frankfurt.

You can come back

whenever you like.

- I don't want to go to Frankfurt.

- You will do as I say!

- Where are your clothes?

- I've got to ask the grandfather first.

- Where are they?

- In there.

Now, there is nothing

to worry about.

We'll have a sleigh ride to Mayenfeld

and a nice trip on a train.

And I'll buy you a present

for your birthday.

- Can I come right back for my party?

- Didn't I tell you you could?
