Fourteen Eggs, Two Trays

Speed

Morning collection smelled like straw and quiet pride.

Fourteen eggs waited. Two trays. Spike asked: how many in each if we share fair?

Fourteen shared by two is seven each, Spike said. Not eight because the biggest egg looked bossy.

Suzy counted tray one: seven. Tray two: seven. Seven and seven make fourteen.

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

Adventure Cap wanted a race with eggs. Thinking Cap habit said walk soft — shells are not toys.

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

Kids: fourteen crayons in two boxes — seven and seven. Count both boxes.

Farm maths is grouping that living things can trust.

Tools remind Spike to plan the trays. Spike still carries them level.

Care means counting before you boast.

Fourteen. Two sevens. Honest.

Fourteen ÷ two = seven each.
