¤,,¤¤,,¤,, 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. ¤¤,,,,,,¤¤
