,¤¤¤¤¤¤,¤¤ 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 ¤,¤¤¤,¤,¤,
