"Al abrir los ojos, un rayo de sol dorado penetraba por la ventana e iluminaba, como si fuera oro, todo cuanto la rodeaba. Heidi miró a su alrededor, sorprendida, porque no se acordaba de dónde estaba. Pero al oír la voz grave de su abuelo, todo volvió a su memoria: el viaje, la llegada a la montaña, y a la casa, donde se quedaría a vivir ahora."

En seguida aprenderá de la tranquila vida en las montañas suizas, lejos de la ciudad y la muchedumbre, y rodeada de naturaleza y vida.
