Ten Eggs in Two Baskets

Pavlova left ten warm eggs. Ten is a solid farm number.

Two baskets waited. Suzy wanted to tip them all into the pretty basket. Spike sat.

Thinking Cap habit said: stop. Look. Think. Ten eggs. Two baskets. Fair means same.

Five and five, Spike said. Not six and four because one basket looks hungrier.

Suzy counted aloud with you: one, two, three, four, five into the left. Then five into the right.

They checked. Left five. Right five. Ten total. No invented eleventh egg.

Little Thunder sniffed and did not add cattle maths to chicken maths.

Adventure Cap energy still wanted to race the baskets. Care said walk soft so shells stay whole.

Farm maths can be gentle. Split. Check. Carry.

Count ten with your fingers, then make two groups of five at home — toys, socks, or apple slices.

Tools remind. Paws and honesty do the work.

Five and five. Ten true.
