¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨^~†%£##@# 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 ##£%†~^¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^ 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 ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨^~†%£##@ Are Glad, For The Flowers Are Beautiful @##£%†~^¨¨
¨¨¨^~†%£## And Smell Good, And There Is Little ##£%†~^¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~† Scared Of Him Then. †~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^ We Are Then Tasked With Removing Any ^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
