Eight-year-old Heidi is orphaned and her aunt looks after of her, one day
her selfish Aunt takes her to the mountains to live with Adolph Kramer, her
grumpy, old grandfather, he lives alone in a small village. Heidi brings her
grandfather back into mountain society through her angelic ways, love, and
adorable personality. Even though they don’t have much but they are happy
and delighted together for everything .
Heidi becomes real good friends with Peter, a shepherd boy. Heidi enjoys
living with her grandfather because she is receiving enough of love and
affection, also enjoying the nature around her and the comfort of her home.
One day her aunt returns to take Heidi back in order to send her to a wealthy
family in a big city in Germany.

Heidi doesn’t want to leave but she can’t do anything to stop it because it is
out of her control. Her aunt steals Heidi away to be the companion of a rich
man's invalid daughter, Heidi becomes friend with Clara who is ill and can’t
walk.
Heidi’s grandfather is enraged and sets out to get her back. Heidi loved and
adored by everyone. No matter what anyone tells her, Heidi, with faith,
hope, and the stubbornness she inherited from her grandfather, knows that
someday she will be reunited with him and the beloved people of the
mountain's little village.
Heidi and Clara are indeed friends now and Clara's grandma is a kind
woman with a soft heart who immediately likes Heidi, and finds a way to
win Heidi's trust and motivate her for learning how to read.

Heidi discovered that Clara’s mom, like her very own, had passed away
when she was a small child. Miss Rottenmeyer had brought her up following
her mom’s demise.

Heidi misses everything about the village, she gets homesick. She becomes
weaker every day. Her skin color becomes paler by every passing day, and
her appetite for food decreases as well.

“Heidi is homesick. ” the doctor told Clara’s daddy after looking at her.
“We probably should not keep her, here, anymore. Her condition may grow
more serious. She may become very sick if we do not send her back home. “

Clara and her father could not want Heidi to return. But they also could
hardly see her suffer. Therefore they made a decision to send her to Mount
Alm the very next day.
After a day’s Travelling from Frankfurt, Heidi arrived at Mount Alm. She
saw Grandpa standing close to his cottage, unhappy and alone. She ran
towards him. The old man broken into tears as he took his loving Heidi into
arms. “Where had you been all these days, my girl? Did you ever remember
this old man? ” Grandfather said to Heidi.

That night, Heidi one more time heard the lullaby she had never forgotten.
After a few days, Clara finds a way to visit Heidi. She and Heidi would play
on the mountains. They would also eat together.

Peter did not like the company of Clara. He was envious and jealous. “If I
push her wheelchair down the hill, Clara will have no other choice than to
return to the city, ” Peter thought. Finding a chance, he pushed Clara’s
wheelchair over a high cliff.

But Peter was wrong. Clara would not get back to Frankfurt. She too did not
want to leave the mountains. Peter felt embarrassed of his bad behavior.
Both Peter and Heidi given a hand to Clara to walk slowly and gradually .
Fresh milk and mountain fresh air made her more healthy and stronger. In a
short time. She began walking gradually and she was able to walk on her
own.

After some time, Clara’s daddy came over there to take Clara back to
Frankfurt. He could not believe that his eyes when he witnessed Clara walk
without the wheelchair.

“I do not wish to leave this place. Please let me live here forever. ” Clara
pleaded with her father. “These mountains are amazing. ” Clara’s daddy said
to her. “You will spend each and every summer time here. Let us get back
now. “
