¨@@¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨@¨@@¨¨

@@@¨¨¨@¨¨¨ It Is Not Long Before He Is Still Tired ¨@@¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
@¨@@¨¨¨@¨¨ Even In The Morning And Must ¨@@@¨¨¨¨¨¨
