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