The next morning the sun came out early as bright       
as ever, and then Peter appeared with the goats,       
and again the two children climbed up together       
to the high meadows, and so it went on day after day       
till Heidi, passing her life thus among the grass and       
flowers, was burnt brown with the sun, and grew so       
strong and healthy that nothing ever ailed her.       
She was happy too, and lived from day to day       
as free and lighthearted as the little birds that make       
their home among the green forest trees.       
Then the autumn came, and the wind blew louder       
and stronger, and the grandfather would say sometimes,       
“To-day you must stay at home, Heidi; a sudden       
gust of the wind would blow a little thing like you       
over the rocks into the valley below in a moment.”

Wonderful illustrations of a book I've never managed to finish.
Those are the best illustrations I've ever seen of one of my favorite books!
