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