『HEIDI』



I read ‘HEIDI’. I think this is a very famous story. Most of people know this story. The reason why 'HEIDI' is popular, because this story made into an animated in Japan as 'HEIDI in Alps'.
Heidi is a little girl and lives in the mountains of Switzerland. She doesn't have a parent. So she lives with her grand father, Alm-Opa. He lives alone in his little wooden house, high up on the mountain before Heidi coming. He is an unhappy old man, and hates everyone.
Then Heidi has a friend who name is Goat-Peter. There are Grandfather's two pretty goats. Heidi went up the Alm with Peter and the goats every day. She was soon brown and strong. Heidi really likes her life with her grandfather on the mountain.
However, One day Heidi's aunt takes Heidi to Clara's home in Frankfurt. Clara lives in a fine house in the city and she can't walk. She always sat in her wheelchair. Heidi likes her new friends and learns a lot of new things. However she misses her grandfather and the mountain. Finally Heidi got sick. She really wanted to go back to grand father’s house, so she got sleepwalking.
Because of Heidi’s sick, Heidi could go back to grand father’s house. One day, Clara said that she want to go Heidi’s house in mountain. Then Clara started to live with Heidi and Clara practices to walk with Heidi.
Finally she could stand and walk by herself thanks to Heidi. When the Clara’s mother knew this thing, she was really happy. And this story has a happy end. Then I really like this scene of this story. The scene is so impressive.
