@,@,,@,,,@ 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. @,@,@,@,@,
