,,,@,,,,,, 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. ,@,@@,,@,,
