Sheep Clusters of Eighteen

Speed
Lane held seventy-two sheep.
Groups of eighteen — how many?
Seventy-two ÷ eighteen = four groups.
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: 72 in bags of 18 — four bags.
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.
Seventy-two ÷ eighteen = four groups.
Seventy-two ÷ eighteen = four groups.
