,,,,¤,¤¤,, 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 ,,,,¤¤¤,,¤

,¤,,,,,,¤¤ ,¤,,,,¤¤¤,
,,¤,,,,,¤, 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 ,,,¤¤¤,,¤,

¤,,,¤,,,¤, 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. ,,,,,¤,,,,
,,¤¤¤,,¤,¤ ,,,,,,¤,,,
