Sheep Groups of Eighteen

The lane held thirty-six sheep like soft clouds on legs.

Spike wanted groups of eighteen. How many groups?

Thirty-six shared by eighteen is two. Two neat groups. Not three by magic.

Suzy counted group one and group two — eighteen each. 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: thirty-six counters in bags of eighteen — two 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.

Thirty-six ÷ eighteen = two groups.

Thirty-six ÷ eighteen = two groups.
