Three Trays of Fifteen

Speed

Three trays sat ready like quiet little boats.

Fifteen eggs in each. Three times fifteen?

Three times fifteen is forty-five. Honest total.

Suzy counted tray by tray: fifteen, thirty, forty-five.

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: three bags of fifteen marbles — forty-five marbles.

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.

Three × fifteen = forty-five.

Three × fifteen = forty-five.
