,#,###,,#, 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. ,,#,#,,#,#
