Difference of One Ninety-Six Eggs

One hundred ninety-six eggs and one hundred forty-eight eggs.
What is the difference?
Suzy worked it soft: forty-eight. Not a magic bigger number.
Suzy checked once more so the count stayed honest.
Adventure Cap wanted a magic bigger number. Care said stop at the honest total.
Thinking Cap habit: plan, count once, check. Cap does not invent by magic.
Pavlova supervised like a fluffy accountant and added zero by staring.
Little Thunder declined commentary with mahogany dignity — farm bull stillness only.
Kids: one hundred ninety-six minus one hundred forty-eight. Count once, then check.
Farm maths is a promise living things can trust.
Tools remind. Soft landings still happen.
Suzy spelled S-U-Z-Y once for joy, then back to the numbers.
One hundred ninety-six − one hundred forty-eight = forty-eight.
One hundred ninety-six − one hundred forty-eight = forty-eight.
