###&&===,, 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 ,,===&&###
