Little Thunder declined commentary with mahogany dignity — farm bull stillness only.

Kids: seventy counters remove twenty-three — forty-seven left.

Farm maths is a promise living things can trust.

Suzy spelled S-U-Z-Y once for joy, then back to the numbers.

Seventy − twenty-three = forty-seven.

Seventy − twenty-three = forty-seven.
