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