Now, in addition to his reputation for freckles, Tom was also believed to be

Flatrock River takes its name from the fact that it flows over layers of broad
flat rocks. The soil in its vicinity is underlaid at a depth of a few feet by a
formation of stratified limestone, which crops out on the hillsides and
precipices, and in many places forms deep, canon-like crevasses, through
which the river flows. In these cliffs and miniature canons are many caves,
and branching off from the river’s course are many small side-canons, or
gullies, which at night are black and repellent, and in many instances are
quite difficult to explore.

The Crow, her head cocked on one side, watched the Fox suspiciously. But
she kept her beak tightly closed on the cheese and did not return his
greeting. "What a charming creature she is!" said the Fox. "How her feathers

one song, I know I should hail her Queen of Birds." Listening to these
flattering words, the Crow forgot all her suspicion, and also her breakfast.
She wanted very much to be called Queen of Birds. So she opened her

Do you know what the fastest animal in the world is? If you answered
cheetah, you’re right. However, a cheetah can only run fast for less than
half of a mile before being too exhausted to continue. If a cheetah were in
a mile-long race, it would lose to a pronghorn.
A pronghorn is sometimes mistaken for an antelope, but is more
related to the goat family. These unique animals can sustain speeds of
around thirty miles an hour for twenty miles! Try to get a cheetah to do that,
and you’ll be quickly disappointed.
Next time someone asks you to run like a cheetah, remember the

Just then something in the basket, which had been only lightly fastened,
moved, and one, two, three and still more little kittens jumped out,
scampering around the room with the utmost speed. They bounded over
the tutor’s boots and bit his trousers; they climbed up on Miss Rottenmeier’s
dress and crawled around her feet. Mewing and running, they caused a
frightful confusion. Clara called out in delight: “Oh, look at the cunning
creatures; look how they jump! Heidi, look at that one, and oh, see the one
over there?”

At the moment when our story closes, Heidi and Peter are sitting in
grandmother’s hut. The little girl has so many interesting things to relate and
Peter is trying so hard not to miss anything, that in their eagerness they are
not aware that they are near the happy grandmother’s chair. All summer
long they have hardly met, and very many wonderful things have
happened. They are all glad at being together again, and it is hard to tell
who is the happiest of the group. I think Brigida’s face is more radiant than
any, for Heidi has just told her the story of the perpetual ten-penny piece.
Finally the grandmother says: “Heidi, please read me a song of thanksgiving
and praise. I feel that I must praise and thank the Lord for the blessings He
has brought to us all!”
What happens next? (Make it up.)
