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