Quarter of Twelve Pears

Speed

Twelve pears waited in a kind little pile for four hungry goats.

A quarter each, said Spike. How many is one quarter of twelve?

Suzy split the pile: three and three and three and three. A quarter of twelve is three.

They gave each goat three pears. Soft eye held the queue.

Not four because Biltong looked charming. Charm is not a divider.

Goats chewed honest. Fair shares keep the yard calm.

Adventure Cap wanted a bigger slice for the boldest goat. Care kept quarters fair.

Thinking Cap habit: split equal, then hand out. Cap does not magic-solve appetite.

Little Thunder declined pear catering consultancy with mahogany pride.

Kids: twelve biscuits for four friends — three each. Share, then check.

Farm fractions are kindness you can count.

Lead keeps the share honest for every goat.

Twelve. Four goats. Three each.

¼ of twelve = three.
