Half of Twenty Carrots

Twenty carrots waited in a crate like an orange puzzle.

Half for the goat bay, half for the sheep bay, said Spike.

Half of twenty is ten, Suzy said. Not eleven because hope chewed imaginary.

They made two piles of ten and checked once by pointing.

Share maths is care you can count.

Adventure Cap wanted to toss forever. Care said stop at the plan share.

Thinking Cap habit: halve, then check. Cap does not invent carrots.

Little Thunder declined root-vegetable commentary with dignity.

Kids: twenty stickers — half for you, half for a friend. Count ten and ten.

Tools remind. You still make the piles level.

Lead finishes the share without a boast.

Half of twenty = ten each. Soft share.

Half of twenty = ten each.
