 What is the plot of the history? Did you find it interesting?

This book talks for a girl, named Heidi. When she was just a little baby her parents
died. For this reason, her aunt took care of Heide. However, when Heide’s aunt
found a job in Frankfurt, she left Heide in the care of her grandfather, who lived up
the mountain from the Dörfli. There Heide got the chance to learn more about
nature and animals and befriended a guy named Peter. Every day Heide and Peter
went with their sheep to a field nearby.

Heidi's grandfather did not want to take Heidi to school. That's why her aunt took
Heidi to Frankfurt. She took her to one of the richest houses. In this house lived an
invalid girl (unable to walk), Clara, two servants and the girl’s educator. In this
house were many rules which Heid didn’t like. Sometimes she broke these rules,
and for this she was punished b in her room. However, she had a new friend to help
her out there, Clara. With her help Heidi learned how to write and how to speak
fluently in German.

After a long time, Heide went to his grandfather, because she missed him and

didn’t want to continue living in Frankfurt.  When Heidi reached to her
grandfather, she started writing letters to Clara every day. One day Heidi learned
that Clara would be able to come there. After a week Clara come to Heide. They
stayed all the time together. Every day Heidi, Peter and Clara went to a filed when
they stayed all the time. Both her and Peter helped to train Clara every day,
because they wished for Clara to be able to walk again. Later on the season, she
managed to walk short distances on her own. Clara’s father and her grandmother
were so happy, they couldn’t believe this. However, Klara needed to return back to
Frankfurt, because she had to start learning again. Although she continued
practicing to walk because she wanted to be able to run with her friends on the
mountains the next summer.

That was the plot of the story.

Yes, the history was interesting.
