,,¤,,,,,¤, 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. ¤¤,,¤,,,,,
