Sheep Clusters of Twenty-One

The lane held eighty-four sheep like soft clouds on legs.

Spike wanted groups of twenty-one. How many groups?

Eighty-four shared by twenty-one is four. Four neat groups. Not five 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: eighty-four counters in bags of twenty-one — 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.

Eighty-four ÷ twenty-one = four groups.

Eighty-four ÷ twenty-one = four groups.
