-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨-=;%*

##*%;=-¨¨¨ ¨¨¨-=;%*##
###*%;=-¨¨ Around The House Is A Thick, Thick ¨¨-=;%*###

###*%;=-¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-=

%;=-¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨-=;%

=-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ But We Always Shoo Them Out. With Fresh ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-=
-¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ Cut Flowers Thrown Right Outside The ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨-

###*%;=-¨¨ ¨¨-=;%*###
##*%;=-¨¨¨ Now He Leaves As Soon As He'S Awake And ¨¨¨-=;%*##
#*%;=-¨¨¨¨ Falls Asleep As Soon As He Returns. We ¨¨¨¨-=;%*#

%;=-¨¨¨¨¨¨ And The Orchard. But It Is Hard And We ¨¨¨¨¨¨-=;%
