Clock Hours to Coop

The yard clock said four. Coop plan said: latch by five, soft check by six.

From 4 to 5 is one hour, Spike said. From 5 to 6 is another. Two hours of evening care.

Suzy pointed: short hand near 4, then imagined it at 5, then 6. Hours are hops around the face.

If they started late at 4:30, they still owed the same jobs — honesty about time, not excuses.

Pavlova queued for dusk like a queen with a calendar.

Thinking Cap habit: plan the hours, then walk the plan. The Cap does not turn the hands.

Adventure Cap wanted forever play. Lead said coop time is a promise.

Little Thunder arrived early and waited like a mahogany sundial.

Kids: set a one-hour timer for tidy-up. Name start hour and end hour.

Clock maths keeps living things safe when daylight leaves.

They latched at five, checked at six — calm hens, honest hours.

Tools remind Spike to notice time. Spike still walks to the latch.

Hours named. Coop true.
