†\~^¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^
