#,#,#,##,# ,##,##,,#,
#,#,#,,#,, 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. ,##,##,,#,
#,#,#,,#,, ,,#,,#,##,
