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