and bring help.

-And leave us here alone?

-l'm coming with you.

Without skis?

So, who has a song for us?

We can't have a campfire

without a song or a poem.

Didn't anyone teach you to recite

at your fancy ltalian school?

''Not l,'' said the fly.

Ursula is the best. Go on, Ursula, do one.

She's really quite the actress.

''Lord Lovel, he stood at his castle gate

''combing his milk-white steed

''When along came Lady Nancy Belle

to wish her lover good speed''

Stop, not that one, it's dreadfully morbid!

Lady Nancy Belle dies.

l don't want anyone to die!

lt isn't morbid.

lt's romantic.

-We won't let anyone die.

-Then you go, Heidi.

Go on, amuse us.

Go on!

l'm not really very good at it.

Christmas, Heidi.

-Christmas.

-Yeah, Christmas.

''Advent, Advent

''a little light burns

''First one, then two

''then three, then four

''then next the Christ Child at the door''

We know that one.

''Advent, advent, a little light burns

''First one, then two

''then three, then four

''then next the Christ Child at the door''

Ursula?

Peter?

He left hours ago.

You were still sound asleep.

l didn't want to wake you.

-What?

-Look, Peter's left us some more food.

And chocolate.

-Why didn't you wake me up?

-Please take your hand off my shoulder!

l will when l'm ready.

See? Peter wouldn't leave

without saying good-bye to me.

l've been very very worried about you.

Alone on such a dangerous mountain.

Now it's time to go home.

-l'm not going back!

-You can' t make us, not now or ever!

You creepy crawling caterpillar face!

We're not afraid of you.

No!

My little darlings, l want no more trouble.

And since l wouldn't want you

to catch a cold...

-...get your things!

-No!

Enough!

Are you all right?

Come on, get Clarissa!

Come on, faster!

Come on, get Clarissa!

-This is not the way down!

-That does not matter!

-Where are you taking us?

-To the top. lt's a wonderful view.

Everyone should see it before they die!

Come on!

Hold on. l'm coming.

Hang on,

l need to get this rope around you.

''ln the cave...

''...around the tree!

''lnto the cave....''

''Out of the cave!'' Pull!

Pull!

Pull!

Let's go home.

-Somebody's spotted us.

-We're getting close! Come on!

''Advent, Advent, a little light burns

''First one, then two''

Grandfather!

Grandfather!

Wait! Wait for us, Heidi!

l hear them!

Grandfather, it's me!

Grandfather!

Heidi!

Oh, God!

l thought l'd never see you again.

Peter!

Grandfather, may l give Schwanli one?

Cookies are for lucky children

and old men...

...and kind ladies.

Thank you.

And green grass is for goats,

as you'll find out in the spring...

...when you take Schwanli and Barli

up to pasture.

-Then l'm not going back to the orphanage!

-There is no more orphanage to go back to.

Yes!

Grandfather, are you sure it's all right,

keeping the children over the holidays?

lt will be all right, and if this little one

is the only one l can keep longer...

...then l guess l'll have to learn

to live with it.

To our hero!

Which one?

Heidi, beautiful!

You look so....

l'm sorry, l have to leave.

l have to get back to my post.

Tonight? On Christmas Eve?

There is a war on.

Not in Switzerland.

l'm still a soldier.

Good night, all.

-l will see you soon, l promise.

-Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

-Good night.

-Merry Christmas.

He's a man now, he has responsibilities.

lt's freezing, you'll catch a cold.

l'm a big girl now.

l can see that,

but you still need to stay warm.

-You'll come back?

-l will if you don't go running off again.

l will if l want to.

Then l'll have to make sure

that you don't want to.
