Heidi

As the title, the story is about a switz girl called Heidi. Both her parents were died when she was very young. She was taken care by her aunt for few years, and her aunt took her to her grandfather in a mount in Switzerland. Her grandfather was known as a wired person in a town down the mountain. He lived in his own way and stayed away from others. But, eventually Heidi’s clear heart taught him to give up the hate.

Heidi was written in about hundred years ago in German. It is one of the most well known story. I think the reason that it could last so long is because of the character of Heidi. The child’s clear heart give us a unadulterated realm in our mind.
