Half of Sixty-Four Eggs

Speed

Sixty-four eggs glowed in the morning trays.

Half to the cool room, said Spike. What is half of sixty-four?

Half of sixty-four is thirty-two. Not thirty-three by hope.

Suzy split the trays: thirty-two and thirty-two. 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 — farm bull stillness only.

Kids: sixty-four blocks. Split into two equal piles of thirty-two.

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.

Half of sixty-four = thirty-two.

Half of sixty-four = thirty-two.
