“Heidi loudly wailed, "Oh I want to go home. What the poor snowhopper will do without me? Grandmother is waiting for me everyday. Poor Thistlefinch gets blows if Peter gets no cheese, and I must see the sun again when he says good-night to the mountains. How the eagle would screech if he saw all the people here in Frankfurt.”

“Heidi came running in, "Grandfather can the sun still laugh at me? she asked”

“Saying good night to the mountains, the sun throws his most beautiful rays to them, that they may not forget him till the morning.”

“Go now and wash yourself first, for the sun will laugh at you if he sees how dirty you are.”

“Dont grieve any more, see I am coming up with you everyday now, and if there is anything the matter, you can come to me.”

“God certainly knows of some happiness for us which He is going to bring out of the trouble, only we must have patience and not run away. And then all at once something happens and we see clearly ourselves that God has had some good thought in His mind all along; but because we cannot see things beforehand, and only know how dreadfully miserable we are, we think it is always going to be so.”

“We must pray to God everyday to show we don't forget that all gifts come from Him. But if some wishes remain unfulfilled we must show our confidence in Him, for He knows best.”
