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