¶£%^*=:¨¨¨ ==== ¨¨¨:=*^%£¶
#¶£%^*=:¨¨ ¨¨:=*^%£¶#
##¶£%^*=:¨ 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. ¨¨:=*^%£¶#
##¶£%^*=:¨ ¨:=*^%£¶##
