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