CHILDREN OF
OTHER LANDS
THE LITTLE ESKIMO
I’AM a little Eskimo. You can see
only my face because I am so well-
wrapped up ! But, you see, mycountry is a land of ice and snow,
and if we did not wrap ourselves up
well, we would freeze with the cold !
I wish you would come and staywith me for a little while. It would be
fun to show you my snow-house and
to take you out in a canoe. I don't go
to school,

If you come to stay with me you
must wear special warm clothes. You
must have a vest

made of sealskin. Then you must
wear over that a suit of fox-skin with
the fur inwards. Then you must puton a coat and trousers with the fur
turned outwards. I will show you
how to tuck the trousers into your
strong hide-boots. Now a warm capof fur for your head, and big gloves
for your hands, and you are dressed !
But even with all these furry clothes
on you will feel cold sometimeswhen the wind is very bitter !
The little girls wear the same
clothes, but they have a big loose
hood too. My mother carried me in
her hood when I was tiny, and
sometimes I used to fall out of the
hood into the snow !
We build our own houses for

the winter-time. We live in snow-
huts then. I could show you how to
make one if you were here. First youhave to choose a good place to build
your hut, sheltered from the wind.
Then you must cut out big blocks of
hard snow— these are the bricks for your house !
Now you must put the blocks one
on the top of another until at last you
have made a cosy house, shapedrather like the old-fashioned bee-
hives you sometimes see in your
country. Now, what about a
window ? We have no glass as you
have. But we can make quite a good
window ! We will cut a sheet of
clear, thick ice and put that into the
open space we have
10

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 11/70
left for the window. It lets a little
light into our house.
We must not have a big doorway,for if we do the cold wind will blow
in. We will have a very small low
one, reached by a tunnel that we will
make in the snow ! Now our house is made. It is very
small. We can only just stand up in it,
and my father has to bend down
when he stands. We light it with our seal-fat lamp. Here it Is -just a piece
of soft stone hollowed out to make
room for the seal-fat oil to be poured
in. Our wick is made of bits of moss.
When we light our strange little
lamps they give us a yellow light and
warm our huts for us. But we must
never get our homes too

warm, because if we do they will
melt on top of us !
In the summer-time we live inskin-tents, for then the snow melts.
I have a fine canoe of my own,
called a kayak. It has a hole in themiddle and I fit into it nicely. I go
fishing in my kayak. Sometimes we
go to hunt the big walrus,
12
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 13/70
and then we take a large boat. It is
very exciting.
When we want to get from placeto place we go by sledge. We have
plenty of dogs to pull these along.
They are fierce, strong dogs, and can
go fifty or more miles a day with our loaded sledges.
In the winter we hunt for seals.
We find one of their breathing-holes
and wait by it until we see a sealcoming up to breathe. Then we hurl a
spear at it—a harpoon. The harpoon
has a line tied to it so that we can
haul up the seal if we have struck it
with our harpoon. I am pleased when
we catch a seal, for that means plenty
of food for us, and perhaps a new
coat for me !

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 14/70
I have two sisters, but they do not
go hunting. They have to get our meals for us, and see to the lamps,
and make all our clothes. They do not
have the needles and cotton that you
have —they have to use flat bits of bone for needles, and strips of
reindeer skin for thread.
I am so hungry when I get home
at night. I drink my seal-soup and Ieat big pieces of raw meat. I do not
want my meat cooked as you have
yours. I like to stuff it into my mouth
and eat it raw ! What a lot of things
you would have to learn if you came
to stay with me !

LAL HAS AN ADVENTURE
I’AM Lai, a little Indian boy. I
live a long way away from you. My
country is very hot indeed, so I do
not wear many clothes.
Come and see my village. It is not
a bit like yours. This is my hut—it isvery small and is made of mud.
Would you like to live in a mud-
house ? The roof is made of rice-
straw and is thatched. You havethatched houses too in your country,
but usually your roof is made of tiles.
My house is very dark, because
15
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 16/70
there are no windows ! There is no
chimney either. Do you want to
know where our furniture is ? Well,we haven't any ! We have two mats,
this large water-pot and a few dishes,
that is all. We just lie down on a mat
when we sleep, and if we want to sitwe sit on the floor.
We spend nearly all our time out
of doors because the weather is so
warm. Our village is just a crowd of thatched huts, surrounded by our
little fields. In the fields we try to
grow enough food to last us all the
year round. Come and see my field—
this is it, with the crops growing
well. We hope they will not die
because we need food very badly.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 18/70
our crops failed, and we were
hungry for many months.
I help my father to water our crops.Our country is so hot that it is
difficult to get water except in the
wet season, but if our plants do not
get plenty of water they die.In the wet season we get too much
water ! You do not have a wet season
like ours. You have rain at any time
—but we get our rain at special timesand not at any other time. When the
rain comes it pours down as if some-
one were emptying it out of great
buckets. It makes such a noise !
We are glad when the rain comes, for
then our ditches are filled, our ponds
overflow, our
crops spring up tall and green. The
rain falls for a long time without

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 19/70
stopping. The air becomes cooler,
and we are glad. But however cool
our country is, it is still warmer thanyours, for we have no real winter as
you have.
One day I had an adventure. I went to
a very big town, far away from our village. I went in my father's ox-cart.
It is made of wood and is very old,
but we are proud of having a cart.
You would not like riding in an ox-cart, because it is very hard and
uncomfortable. I have seen beautiful
motor-cars in the big town, going
very fast, but I have never ridden in
one. Our ox-cart cannot go fast,
because the ox is
so slow. But he is patient and
strong too.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 20/70
It was such a long way to the
town. We went on for many days,
and passed so many villages like
our own that I could not count them !
We passed hundreds of fields too.
Some grew rice, some grew the
sweet-smelling bean

flower. I saw flax growing in
many fields and sugar-cane in others.
What do you grow in your fields ?Well, at last we came to the town.
I had never seen a town before, and I
was excited when I saw the big
buildings, the motorcars, the longstreets and the gay shops. My father
took us to his brother, my uncle, who
has a little shop that sells sweets. I
was pleased to know he sold sweets,for, like you, I love to eat them. Our
shops are not like yours. They are
very, very small, and they have no
glass windows. They are just
openings into the street, and the
shop-keeper sits in the opening and
sells what he has.
I saw so many things in this big
21
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 22/70
city. I saw the snake-charmers
who play soft, strange music on their
pipes. They keep snakes in baskets,and when the snakes hear the
music they crawl from the baskets
and sway in time to the tunes.
I saw great processions, and men
dancing. I saw men who did queer
things to show how good they were.
One man held his arm above his head
and never put

it down. He had held it there for
nine years, and now he could not use
it at all. You would think that astrange thing to do, wouldn't you ?
One night my father and uncle and
I went to the big river. We had all
bought tiny lamps that would floatlike boats. I lighted mine and set it
gently on the water.
" If my light burns steadily I shall
have good luck ! " I cried. " But if itgoes out, bad luck will come to me !"
I watched my little lamp-boat
carefully as far as I could see it—and
it burnt brightly ! I was glad.
" Now I shall have good luck for a
long time ! " I said. " I shall tell my
mother when I go home. She will be
pleased ! "

SAVI, THE LITTLE PLAY-
BOY OF THE SEA
SPLASH ! Splash ! Splash !
Did you hear me splash asI rolled over and over in that big
wave ? I do love the warm sea ! I
bathe in it about twelve times a day,
and I never get tired of it.I am called Savi, and I live far
away from you. You live on an island
called Great Britain, and I live on an
island too, far away in the PacificOcean. I would not like your island.
It would be too cold and rainy for
me. My island is always sunny and
warm. I don't

even need to wear clothes. So I
don't dress or undress. How wouldyou like that ?
When I get up in the morning I go
and pick a big red flower to put
behind my ear. Then I am
25
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 26/70
dressed for the day ! My body is
brown all over, and I am healthy and
strong, for I live out of doors all thetime.
I don't go to school. I don't learn
anything except how to fish, and how
to pick coco-nuts, and how to swimand things like that. Perhaps you
don't call those lessons ? There isn't
any need for us to work much,
because all our food grows ready for us, and we don't need clothes. I live
in a little wooden hut with my father
and mother. They built the hut
themselves and I helped them to
make a thatched roof for it with big
palm leaves.
It was quite easy. When I am
grown up and have a dear little
26

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 27/70
wife of my own I shall build a
small hut too, and make a roof of
palm leaves.I do have lovely meals. Sometimes
I go fishing and catch silvery fish for
breakfast. I bring them home to
Mother and she cooks them on red-hot stones. They taste delicious.
Sometimes we go crab-hunting
and have big crabs for dinner.
Always we have fresh, juicy fruit,sweet and ripe, that we pick from the
trees round about. I drink coco-nut
milk, and my mother takes the tender
young coco-nuts and makes all sorts
of fine meals with them.
We have plenty of coco-nut trees
growing on our island. The only busy
time we have is when we
27
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 28/70
pick the ripe coco-nuts. You
should see me go up the trees then !
' Savi ! Climb up and throw downthe coco-nuts from that tree ! ' my
mother calls. So I run to the tree, and
I climb up the straight, tall trunk with
my hands and knees ! Could you dothat ? I don't think you could. When I
get to the top I see the clumps of
coco-nuts growing and I throw them
to the ground.Each coco-nut wears a thick coat
of fibre. This coat has to be taken off.
You might not know how to do this
easily, but I could show you what to
do. Do you see my pointed stick ?
Take it—push it hard into the coco-
nut and you will find that the husk
breaks quite easily.

8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 30/70
We break the nuts open and dry
the white kernels in the sun. Then we
pack them up and send them to you.You use them for a great many things
—did you know that ? You may use
this dried coco-nut or copra for oil,
or for making margarine, or even for making soap. If we work hard we can
get rich by picking coconuts and
selling the dried kernels or copra. But
we do not like working hard.My mother makes mats from the
fibres that are round the coconuts.
Have you a coco-nut mat at your
front door ? Look and see if you
have. It may be made from the fibres
of the coco-nuts I picked myself ! I
wonder if it is ?

BILL, THE BOY IN THE
LUMBER CAMP
I HAVEN'T very much time to
talk to you because I am very busyto-day. My name is Bill and I live
and work in the lumber camp. I
expect you wonder what that is.
Well, come along and see what wedo here. This hillside is covered by
an enormous forest of trees, and we
are chopping them down because
men in the towns want wood for making all kinds of things.
In my country of Canada, there
are many forests. It is a great big
country, far, far bigger than yours.
31
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 32/70
We have enormous farms, called
ranches, great towns, rushing rivers
and high mountains. It is a finecountry for a boy like me.
I work here in the lumber camp
with my uncle. It is the first time I
have been here. It is hard work, but Ilove it. All day long we can hear the
sound of sawing and chopping, the
crashing of great trees, and the shouts
of the men. My job is to trim the branches off the smaller trees. I am
getting very good at it.
Not far off, down in the valley is a
river. It is frozen hard now, but when
the spring comes, it will melt. We
make the river help us
32

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 34/70
in our work. Shall I tell you what
we do ? Well, we drag the great tree-
trunks to the riverside and pile themthere. Then, as soon as the warm
spring sun melts the ice we push the
great piles of logs into the river !
You should see them topple over and over and go into the icy water
with a great splash ! I do shout when
I see them ! Soon there are hundreds
of logs in the river— and the rushingwater takes them away ! We see the
great tree-trunks rolling over and
over as the water sweeps them along.
Do you know where they go to ? To
the mills built by the side of the river
a good way down ! There men are
waiting for them. Isn't
34
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 35/70
it a good idea to use the river to
carry our logs ?
Once, last year, so many logs rolledover into the river at once that there
was a jam—the logs were all jammed
together and could not get any farther.
So my uncle ran lightly over the logswith a pole and set them going again.
Wasn't that brave of him ? He might
have fallen in when the logs began to
35
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 36/70
float away once more—or he
might have been carried away with
them.I am going back home this sum-
mer to my mother. She lives with my
grandfather on a big farm or ranch.
How you would love to be therewhen the corn is growing and the
fruit trees are full of blossom ! Our
farm is a hundred times bigger than
any of yours. Our corn-fields stretchfor miles and miles. We have
thousands of apple, pear, peach and
plum trees. How lovely it is when the
blossom is out ! The bees make a
sound like aeroplanes when they hum
in the trees. And when the fruit is
ripe, how busy we are !
Would you like to help us to pick
it then ? I work very hard
36
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 37/70
all day long at harvest-time,
whether it is corn-harvest or fruit-
harvest. I think I like the fruit-harvest best, because the fruit feels so firm
and warm when it is picked. But the
corn looks glorious when it stretches
as far as I can see, waving its goldenears in the wind for miles upon miles.
When I go to school I ride there
on my pony. You see, my school is
five miles away ! Nearly all thechildren have ponies, and some of
them come from even farther than I
do. We love school.
I like the winter as much as I like
the summer—because then I get out
my snow-shoes and my fine
toboggan and oh, what fun I have ! I
skate too, and that is
37
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 38/70
great fun. Can you skate ? It is
lovely to go as fast as the wind !
We have a sleigh in the winter-
time, and sometimes, when we go to
a party at night, we harness our horses to the sleigh, pack ourselves
into it under our rugs, and go off in
the frosty night air, the sleigh-bells
ringing merrily. I think I love that best of all. I wish you could come
with me just once, so that you could
lie back in the sleigh and see the stars
twinkling above you in
38
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 39/70
the black sky, and hear the sleigh
hells tinkling, and feel your hands
and toes so warm under the rug.In my country live the Red
Indians. Did you know that ? You
see, Canada was once their very own
country, and there are still RedIndians living there. I have seen
some of them. They do look fine.
They wear those lovely feathered
head-dresses, and they look brownand stern and wise.
I like the Red Indians. One of
them gave me a birch-bark canoe for
my own. If ever you come to our
ranch I will take you out in it on the
river nearby, and I will lend you my
Indian feathered-hat. Would you like
that ? You would feel like a real Red
Indian then !

THE BOY OF THE GREAT
DESERT
I AM Hassan, and I live under a blazing hot sun, so hot that at midday
no one dares to move about in it. I
am a boy of the Great Desert Land,
the Sahara. I have no home, nohouse. I travel about month after
month, never staying very long in
one place.
We have no horses, no oxen—
only tall, flat-footed camels that pad
over the sands easily and swiftly. The
desert I live in would seem strange
to you. It is a vast,
40

8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 42/70
desolate, lonely place, where there
is no water, no grass, no trees. The
wind blows the sand into ridges anddunes and waves that stretch as far as
I can see.
Nothing grows in the sandy desert
except prickly bushes and littlegreenish shrubs that can live without
water. But here and there where a
deep underground well sends up a
spring of water, palm trees grow andwave their feathery tops in the
breeze, and a pool of muddy salty
water can be found. This little tree-
grown place is called an oasis, and
travellers are very glad when they
reach one, for they can get water and
shade there, and maybe dates to eat.
Sometimes an oasis is big enough
42

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 43/70
to hold a town ! I have been to quite
big towns set in the middle of the hot
sandy desert. It is fun to visit one
after many weeks of loneliness. It is
grand to see the bazaars where many
different things are sold. It is fine tosee green grass, flowers and many
trees. It is good to hear many people
43
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 44/70
talking and laughing together.
Best of all I and my sisters like the
food we get in a town—the cakes andsweets, the oranges and figs. We do
not get these when we travel in the
desert.
The desert seems big and lonelyafter the busy life of the town. We
travel on camels, and take with us all
our belongings. We have not very
many things, because we could nottake a great deal about with us. We
take our skin tents, our brass trays
and dishes, our pots, our gay
cushions and beautiful mats. Our
camels carry these things for us.
When we come to a good place to
sleep fof the night we stop and
dismount from our camels. We

make our camels kneel down so
that we can unload them.
I and my father take the tent polesand set them up. Then we spread
over them the tent of goatskin,
making a long flat shelter for the
night.In the middle we hang a curtain.
My mother and little sisters sleep in
one half of the tent and I and my
father sleep in the other half. If weare going to spend more than a night
we take out all our rugs and our
cushions and our lovely brass dishes
and arrange them in the tent.
We take great care of our camels,
for they are very valuable to us. They
are our steeds. They give us their
milk, and we make cheese

from the milk. When they die we
use their hair and their skin. They are
bad-tempered, surly creatures, andalways grumble and try to bite when
we load them. Sometimes a camel
will not get up from his knees when
he is loaded, and in the end we haveto give him less to carry.
We always travel in the early
morning or evening, because the sun
is much too hot at midday. We haveto rest in the shade then. We do not
have very exciting food when we
travel in the desert-mostly dates that
we gather from the date-palms. We
drink camel's milk and eat camel-
cheese too.
It is a dreadful thing to lose our
way in the endless desert.

Once my father lost his way, and
we went on for days and days, not
seeing anything but sand, sand, andyet more sand.
“ Soon we shall sec the tops of the
green palm-trees in the oasis we are
travelling to," said my father. But wedid not see them.
“I have missed my way," said my
father, in dismay. “We have only
enough water for two days more, andenough food for ourselves but not for
the camels. If we do not find the
oasis we shall die ! "
We travelled on for yet another
day, but we saw nothing but the
wind-blown sand-dunes, piled up
around us. When we slept in our tents
that night we were hungry

and thirsty for my father was
saving the water and the food.
The next day we travelled again —and just as we were in despair,
knowing that we had quite lost
ourselves, we saw another caravan of
camels ! We hurried to them, and theleader told us he was going to a
farther oasis. We had gone far
beyond ours. So our two caravans
went along together, and the other leader spared us food and water until
we reached the next oasis.
That is the only time I have been
lost in the desert—but I hope I never
shall be again !

JULIE AND HER DOG,
BEP
LOOK at my dear, clever dog,Bep. He belongs to me, and he is so
good and useful. When I put him into
my little dog-cart, and pile the cart
with cheeses for market, Bep drawsthe cart along as if he were a good
horse !
My name is Julie and I live in the
neat and pretty country of Holland. I
am sure you would like to see
Holland. Do you know, a great many
years ago, part of Holland was under

Sea! Isn't that strange ? But we
drained away the water, and built
great walls or dykes to keep the seaaway, so that now, what was once the
sea is farm-land. We are very proud
of this.
I would like to show you thegreat, strong sea-walls that keep
Back the sea. Always men watch to
see that no leak comes in these walls.
If you stand on the wall, it seems asif the sea is higher than the land—
and it is ! Behind the great wall the
land lies low and flat—in front of the
wall the sea swells high and blue. We
hope that never never will there come
a time when the sea overflows our
walls and drowns the land behind.

Some of our sea-walls are so
strong that we have roads along
them, and even railways. If you standon a wall-road you will see other
built-up walls or dykes behind you,
along which are flowing canals. You
see, we have to keep draining awaythe water from our land, so we send
it away in canals to the sea. Isn't that
a good idea ?
I and my brother Pieter love thecanals. We fish in them in the
summer, and sail our boats there. In
the winter, when the canals freeze,
we skate on them, and play ice-
hockey. We love that. I learnt to
skate when I was three years old, and
Pieter was only two when he first had
his skates on ! Would you like

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 54/70
to try skating on our canals ? I will
help you if you come. If it is
summer-time and we cannot skate,you will like to watch the boats and
barges that go slowly down the
canals.
Do you like windmills ? We haveso many in Holland. They look
lovely when they swing their great
wooden arms round in the strong
winds that sweep over our flatcountry. The windmills drive
machinery that pumps water into the
canals, or saws wood for us, or
grinds our corn.
My father is a farmer. We keep
cows and make big yellow cheeses
and fine creamy butter. We are very
proud of our cows and keep them
clean and healthy.

All our cows wear neat coats.
They do look nice. Our cowhouses
are as clean as our own houses,neatly tiled and always well
scrubbed.
My house is neat and pretty. It has
bright blue walls, white paint roundthe windows, and the fence round the
garden is green. Inside it is so clean
that you could have your dinner on
the floor if you wanted to. Our wallsare tiled half-way up, and the tiles
have nice pictures on. We like to
look at the pictures. All our pots and
pans gleam and shine, because
Mother and I scrub and polish them
every day. The people of Holland are
always clean and neat.

I am not dressed like you. I am
dressed just like my mother. I have a
lot of petticoats on, a pretty bodice,and a stiff white cap with big flaps at
each side. My brother is dressed like
our father. He has baggy trousers, a
big belt with silver buttons, and aloose blue blouse. He wears wooden
shoes like mine. We take off our
shoes before we go into the house.
Do you see Pieter's peaked cap with afine tassel ? He is proud of that.
I do love the spring-time, because
then I go to see the fields where the
hyacinths and tulips and daffodils
grow. Do you grow them in your
gardens ? If you do, perhaps your
bulbs came from

my country. If only you came to
see me in the spring-time, how
pleased you would be to see thehyacinth fields ! I would take you to
a special one I know, where all
around you, stretching as far as you
can see, would be pink and blue hya-cinths, smelling as sweet as honey.
Later on I would take you to our
tulip fields, and you would think you
were in Fairyland when you sawmiles and miles of brightly coloured
tulips all flowering together. We love
flowers, and in tulip time we walk
through our fields and delight in the
colour and beauty all around us.
Now Bep and I must go. It is time
to take our cheeses to market. Come
along, Bep ! Good dog, good dog!

JEANNETTE OF THE
MOUNTAINS
I AM Jeannette and I live amongthe high mountains of Switzerland. I
wish I could show you my little
wooden house in the old mountain-
village. It has green shutters, and isvery cosy in the winter-time.
When the cold days come we
bring our cattle in from the moun-
tains and take them to our houses ! Iexpect that seems strange to you, but
we like to have our cows near to us.
We let them live on the ground-floor
of our houses and at night I
59

can hear them moving about and
perhaps giving a soft moo or two.
But when the spring comes wetake our cows up to the high
meadows far above us on the
mountains. The snow has melted
then, and the grass is bright green.Thousands of bright gay flowers
grow in the grass, and every place is
very beautiful. The cows are pleased
to leave their dark winter homes andgo out into the lovely spring
sunshine.
Above the cow-meadows are the
goat and sheep pastures. Here the
mountains are steep and rocky, but
the goats and the sheep are sure-
footed and leap about safely. They do
not need such rich grass as the cows.

I don't stay with the cows. I go
back to my home and make lace to
sell to the visitors who come to seeour beautiful mountains. But my
brothers stay all the summer long,
high up in the mountains, caring for
the cows and milking them. Theymake butter and cheese, and they
grow healthy and strong in the pure
mountain air.
I often wish I was a boy so that I,too, might live high up in the
mountains all the summer through.
My brothers sleep at night in a little
wooden hut called a chalet. You
would be surprised to see that the
roof is weighed down with great
stones and rocks !
Can you guess why this is ? It is
because in the winter-time
62
8/3/2019 Blyton Enid Children of Other Lands 1954
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 63/70
great storms come sweeping over
the mountains and the light roofs
would blow away if we did not
weight them down with rocks.
Sometimes the winds are so strong
that they blow the roofs and the
rocks away ! Then there is not much
left of our chalet when we visit it the
next spring.

My brothers have a long horn to
blow when they want the cows tocome for milking. I have often blown
it, and it makes a wonderful sound,
echoing round and round the great
mountains. I think you would like to
blow it too. When the cows hear this
sound they come to be milked. Some
cows wear bells, and the sound of the
cowbells is beautiful to hear.
Above the goat and sheep pasturesare the mountain-tops, covered in
white snow. Below the cow pastures
are the great woods where we get our
firewood and logs, and where wehunt for nuts in the autumn. Below
these woods are meadows where
good grass grows—but we never
allow

our cows to eat in these meadows,
for we use the grass for hay, which is
very precious in the wintertime. Wefeed our cattle with it then.
Below the hay-meadows is our
village, set snugly in the mountain-
side. We all live here in the winter-time, for then the snow and icy winds
come, and it is too dangerous for
anyone to live high up on the
mountains. Sometimes the snow fallsdown the mountain-side and makes
an avalanche. We hear avalanches
roaring down in the winter, and we
hope that they will not fall on our
village, for if one did it would
destroy our houses.
We have to put away our

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/blyton-enid-children-of-other-lands-1954 67/70
wheeled carts in the winter and
use sledges. We fasten to our feet
long flat strips of wood called skis.We slip easily and swiftly over the
snow in these.
Do you think we are dull in the
winter ? No, we are not ! We have plenty to do, besides looking after
our animals. My brothers make little
animals out of wood. You should see
the row of bears they made last year !They looked so fine, standing on the
mantelpiece till we sold them. We
make flowers from ivory too. We
make our own clothes, and this takes
quite a long time.
Do you see what I wear ? I have a
long checked skirt like my mother's,
and a velvet bodice laced

up in front over a white under-
bodice with wide sleeves. Karl, my
brother, wears loose trousers that fall below his knees, and a rough woollen
shirt. He always sticks feathers in his
hat.
Do you like mountain-climbing?My grandfather takes people up the
mountains every year. He is a famous
guide. Perhaps if you come to
Switzerland he will take youclimbing. I shall ask you to come and
have a drink of creamy milk with me
then, and perhaps you will buy some
of my beautiful lace !
