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