Double the Water Jugs

Five jugs filled one trough line, neat and honest.

Double it, said Spike. How many jugs for two lines?

Suzy tapped: five and five — ten jugs. Two times five.

Not eleven because thirst felt loud. Loud is not a measuring jug.

They poured ten jugs across two lines and left the bay calm.

Quails appreciated the plan. Chickens practised patient queue maths.

Adventure Cap wanted a dramatic flood. Care said pour enough, then stop.

Thinking Cap habit: name the groups, then multiply with looking. Cap does not invent litres.

Kids: five blocks in a row — make two rows. Count the pile.

Farm times-tables are promises animals can drink later.

Tools remind. Jugs still get carried.

Two times five = ten. Soft pour.

2 × 5 = ten jugs.
