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