@¨@¨@¨@¨¨@ 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. ¨@¨¨@¨@¨@¨
