Forty-Eight Eggs, Six Nests

Morning light found forty-eight eggs waiting like a quiet little flock.
Six nests stood ready. Spike asked: how many in each if we share fair?
Forty-eight shared by six is eight each. Not nine because one egg looked famous.
Suzy counted nest one through six: eight each — honest and level.
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.
Kids: forty-eight crayons in six pots — eight in each. Count each pot once.
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.
Forty-eight ÷ six = eight each.
Forty-eight ÷ six = eight each.
