Quails in Rows of Seven

Forty-two quails flickered like commas that wanted to leave.

Rows of seven, said Spike. How many rows?

Forty-two divided by seven is six. Six rows. Soft count.

Suzy tapped each row once: six. Not seven because a quail looked twice.

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: forty-two stickers in rows of seven — six rows.

Farm maths is a promise living things can trust.

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

Forty-two ÷ seven = six rows.

Forty-two ÷ seven = six rows.
