¤,,,¤¤¤,,¤ 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 ,,,,,,,,¤,
