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