@¨@¨@¨¨@¨@ 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. @¨@¨@¨@¨@¨
