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