Was bewegt sich döt, zä Schritt oben em Hang? Murmeli! D Muetter spilt mit em Chind. Eis isch gad uf de Rugge gfalle, s ander gumped ufs ufe.

- The cart goes over a huge root, over a boulder — and there he sees his Marmot Lake: blue, peaceful, surrounded by yellow autumn grass, towering cliffs, clouds and wind. What’s moving up there, a few steps up the slope? A marmot! The mother is playing with her child. One just fell onto her back, the other jumps onto the bank. They tumble, they run off, slip away and roll down the slope.
