Heidi 

Led by her Aunt Dete, Heidi arrives in the village of Dörfli to live with Uncle, her grandfather. On the train, Heidi meets Dörfli's grocer, Mrs. Keller and her daughter Theresa. She hears about her grandfather and the depiction is scary.

Grandfather has asked Peter to take Heidi with him for the day. Peter is not happy about it but doesn't have much of a choice. So Heidi spends her first day in the mountains with Peter, who is not very happy at having to take care of the town girl.

Heidi saves a goldfinch from a jackdaw's attack but it is wounded. Against Grandfather's advice, Heidi decides to save the wounded bird but she needs Peter's help. Peter is gone for the day and Heidi meets Peter's Grandmother, an old and blind woman.

Peter is convinced Heidi saw his treehouse and he sulks. He goes to the meadow on his own and Heidi is left with Grandfather. They go to the blacksmith in the village, where Heidi surprises Karl and his gang as they plan to attack Peter's treehouse.

After Peter tells her how much he hates school, Heidi is scared that Grandfather will force her to go to school next winter. Grandfather receives a letter from Dete saying that she'll come back next spring to take Heidi away, Grandfather is upset.
