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