Double the Feed Scoops

Speed

Yesterday: three scoops for one small group. Today: the group doubled.

Double means two times, said Spike. Three doubled is six — not five because the bag feels heavy.

Suzy scooped one, two, three. Then again: four, five, six. She did not skip because she was bored.

Woolworth blinked. Biltong tested whether double meant free-for-all. It did not.

Spike checked the plan board: double the group, double the scoops. Same scoop size. Honest.

Adventure Pack had a measuring cup idea. Thinking Cap habit said use the same scoop each time.

Moscow watched from cattle country and did not claim sheep pellets.

If you double toys for two friends, each still gets a fair share — not one giant pile for the loudest.

Care maths feeds enough, not forever. Six scoops. Latch after.

Double is a farm word you can clap: clap three, then clap three again.

Three doubled is six.
