Quadruple Seven Water Cans

Seven water cans lined the shed wall.

Four rows of the same. How many cans altogether?

Seven times four is twenty-eight. Not thirty by hope.

Suzy checked once more so the count stayed honest.

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: four groups of seven blocks — twenty-eight.

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.

Seven × four = twenty-eight cans.

Seven × four = twenty-eight cans.
