@,@@,,@,,, 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 ,,@,,,,,@@
