Sheep Groups of Twenty

The lane held forty sheep like soft clouds on legs.

Spike wanted groups of twenty. How many groups?

Forty shared by twenty is two. Two neat groups. Not three by magic.

Suzy counted group one and group two — twenty 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: forty counters in bags of twenty — 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.

Forty ÷ twenty = two groups.

Forty ÷ twenty = two groups.
