This is successful, and Heidi helps Peter learn to read. they attend school. The arrival of summer also brings Klara, with her grandmother and her prim governess Rottenmeyer. Heidi's grandfather suggests that Frau Sesemann stay with him and Heidi, while Rottermeyer stays in the village to visit and keep an eye on Klara. Peter is resentful and destroys Klara's wheelchair.
