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