The fairies sleep in all the night?
But, alas, you’ll find no traces
Of their little fairy faces!
—Edith Colby Banfield.
THE LITTLE GOATHERDS
Louis and Marie live among the mountains in Switzerland. These mountains are very high and are called the Swiss Alps.
The cold winds sweep down the mountain-side and rush through the valleys. Sometimes it blows so hard that it almost blows the thatched roofs off the houses.
But the mountain people know all about these strong winds. What do you suppose they do to keep the roof from blowing away? They lay heavy stones on the roof to keep it in place.
