¨¨¨,^%¤&## The River That'S Our River Makes A ##&¤%^,¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,^%¤&# Large Bend Like A Scooping Hand And A #&¤%^,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨,^%¤& Decent Days Travel North From That &¤%^,¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨,^%¤ Stands Our House In The Middle Of A ¤%^,¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,^% Forgotten Apple Orchard. Our House Is %^,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,^ Built Of Dark Clay And Abandoned By A ^,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨, Stranger. The Window Has No Glass But ,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Instead Steel Bars To Keep The Animals ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Out. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Around The House Is A Thick, Thick ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Brush Of Ferns And Bushes. There Live ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ The Animals That We Fight To Keep Away, ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ For They Speak To Us To Join Them In ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ The Luscious Caves Below Ground. They ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Mean No Harm But It Is Not In Our Best ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨, Interest To Do So. There Is Important ,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,^ Work That Needs To Be Done, And It Cant ^,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,^% Be Done By Animals. (Father Says This.) %^,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨,^%¤ ¤%^,¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨,^%¤& Every Morning Our Father Clears The &¤%^,¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,^%¤&# Ferns And Uproots The Bushes Only For #&¤%^,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨,^%¤&## Them To Grow Back Each Night. Their ##&¤%^,¨¨¨
¨¨,^%¤&### Leaves Are Teal, White And Yellow, Some ###&¤%^,¨¨
¨,^%¤&#### Even The Color Of Wine. They Have Lilac ####&¤%^,¨
¨¨,^%¤&### Flowers And In The Morning They Are Wet ###&¤%^,¨¨
¨¨¨,^%¤&## With Dew. ##&¤%^,¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,^%¤&# #&¤%^,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨,^%¤& Father Is Away During The Day Doing &¤%^,¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨,^%¤ Important Things Elsewhere. He Is Weary ¤%^,¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,^% When He Returns Home, Each Day More So %^,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,^ Than The Next. We Learn To Cook For Him ^,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨, So That He Does Not Have To. We Tend To ,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ His Clothes. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Suddenly The Dense Bushwork Is Mirrored ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Inside. Stems And Leaves Appear Close ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ To The Walls And Far From The Light. We ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Are Glad, For The Flowers Are Beautiful ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ And Smell Good, And There Is Little ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Decoration In Our House. But When ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Father Comes Home He Is Angry And Cuts ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨, Them All Down In A Frenzy. We Are ,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,^ Scared Of Him Then. ^,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,^% %^,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨,^%¤ We Are Then Tasked With Removing Any ¤%^,¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨,^%¤& Indoor Plant We See. But They Are So &¤%^,¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,^%¤&# Beautiful! We Wait Just Until Father #&¤%^,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨,^%¤&## Comes Home And Until Then We Enjoy ##&¤%^,¨¨¨
¨¨,^%¤&### Them. Sometimes An Animal Will Sneak In ###&¤%^,¨¨
¨,^%¤&#### But We Always Shoo Them Out. With Fresh ####&¤%^,¨
¨¨,^%¤&### Cut Flowers Thrown Right Outside The ###&¤%^,¨¨
¨¨¨,^%¤&## House He Suspects And Resents Our ##&¤%^,¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,^%¤&# Inaction. But He Doesn'T Have The #&¤%^,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨,^%¤& Energy To Scold Us. He Weakens Quickly. &¤%^,¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨,^%¤ It Is Not Long Before He Is Still Tired ¤%^,¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,^% Even In The Morning And Must %^,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨,^ Reluctantly Leave The Outdoor Weed ^,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨, Cutting To Us As Well, Untrusting That ,¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ We Will Carry It Out. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Now He Leaves As Soon As He'S Awake And ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Falls Asleep As Soon As He Returns. We ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Are Left To Care For Us And The House ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ And The Orchard. But It Is Hard And We ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Are Distracted. We Are Not As ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Persistent As Father And Quickly Fall ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Behind In Our Duties. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
