Eighteen Eggs, Three Baskets

Speed

Morning light found eighteen eggs waiting like quiet treasure.

Three baskets stood ready. Spike asked: how many in each if we share fair?

Eighteen shared by three is six each, Spike said. Not seven because one egg looked famous.

Suzy counted basket one: six. Basket two: six. Basket three: six.

Six and six and six make eighteen — she checked by pointing once per egg.

Pavlova supervised like a fluffy accountant and added zero eggs by staring.

Adventure Cap wanted to race the baskets. Thinking Cap habit said walk soft — shells are not toys.

Little Thunder sniffed and kept his mahogany distance from omelette ambitions.

Kids: eighteen crayons in three pots — six and six and six. Count each pot.

Farm maths is grouping that living things can trust.

Tools remind Spike to plan the share. Spike still carries the tray level.

Care means counting before you boast.

Eighteen. Three baskets. Honest.

Eighteen ÷ three = six each.
