@¨@¨@¨@¨¨@ 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. ¨@@¨¨@¨@¨¨
