Chapter II
MONI'S LIFE IN THE MOUNTAINS The following morning Paula awoke earlier than ever before; a loud singing had awakened her out of sleep. "That is surely the goat-boy so soon," she said, springing out of bed and running to the window. Quite right. With fresh, red cheeks there stood Moni below, and he had just brought the old goat and the little kid out of the goat shed. Now he swung his rod in the air, the goats leaped and sprang around him, and then he went along with the whole flock.
