Heidi Page #2

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...

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?

Can I bring some soft rolls

for the grandmother?

You see, she hasn't many teeth

and can't eat her black bread.

Oh, yes. Come!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

First, I must go up the mountain

and tell the grandfather where I'm going.

There isn't time. We might miss our train!

I'll send word back to him!

But I'd rather tell him myself.

Do you think if I put

my birthday shoes by the fire...

- he'd know I'm coming back?

- Yes, yes, of course.

Now, come along!

Heidi?

Heidi?

Heidi!

Heidi! Where are you?

- Good day, little Heidi.

- Good day, Herr Pastor.

- Are you going away?

- Yes, to Frankfurt with Aunt Dete.

I'm taking her for a little trip,

Herr Pastor. It's her birthday.

- Oh, how kind of you. Pleasant journey to you, Fraulein.

- Thank you.

Oh, there's the grandfather.

I must go tell him.

- Sit down! Drive on!

- Grandfather!

Have you seen her?

Heidi! She's gone!

Don't you know?

Her aunt has taken her to Frankfurt.

She's stolen her!

Where are they?

Stolen? There.

Heidi!

- I don't think I'll go any farther.

- Oh, yes, you will.

Aunt Dete, tell them to stop!

Keep quiet.

I can't stop the train.

You've got to. It's getting late.

I'll never get back tonight!

Of course you won't.

Sit down and keep still.

- Then you-you knew all the time?

- Well, what if I did?

There's going to be

sausage and butter at my party...

and I won't be there.

And- And the grandfather

will be lonely.

Do you remember

what I told you?

I'm to say to the lady...

"How do you do,

Fraulein Rottenmeier?"

And to Klara,

"How do you do, Fraulein Klara?

I hope you will

be well soon. "

But why are we going

to their house?

You'll find out

when we get there.

"The quality of

a young lady's breeding...

is indicated by her deportment

when elders are present.

At such times, her manner

should be sedate and diffident. "

It's time for them

to be here, Fraulein.

Remember, Klara,

no excitement.

You're still an invalid.

"The habit of interruption...

should always be frowned upon.

The well-bred young lady always

waits until her elders are silent. "

I wonder what she'll be like.

Your father expects a healthy,

unspoiled, mountain child...

of your age

to share your studies.

Personally, I think

the whole plan is a mistake.

Papa thought it might be good

for me to have a playmate.

But you have me.

Don't I give you my entire

time and devotion?

Yes, and it's very kind of you...

but I don't have much fun.

Whoa!

Now, remember.

My word!

Well, come on.

Announce us.

Where did you

pick up that?

- That is my niece.

- How unfortunate for the poor child.

Are you the king here?

You look like a king.

Ah, little fraulein, if only

the rest of the world...

could see through your eyes.

Hmm, quite a personage...

under that extraordinary hat.

They are here, Fraulein.

- Andrews, what is she like?

- Highly intelligent.

- Don't be misled by the hat.

- Show them in,

How do you do,

Fraulein Rottenmeier?

- What is your name?

- Heidi.

Heidi?

Ridiculous.

What name did they give

you when you were baptized?

I don't remember that.

Are you being impudent?

No, Fraulein.

She didn't understand.
