@,@@,@,@,@ 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 ,@,@,@,@,,
