Sheep Clusters of Sixteen

The lane held forty-eight sheep like soft clouds on legs.

Spike wanted groups of sixteen. How many groups?

Forty-eight shared by sixteen is three. Three neat groups. Not four by magic.

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: forty-eight counters in bags of sixteen — three 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.

Forty-eight ÷ sixteen = three groups.

Forty-eight ÷ sixteen = three groups.
