Triple the Carrot Rows

Speed

Four carrot rows marked the bed like soft green lines.

Triple for market week, said Spike. Four times three.

Suzy: twelve rows. She paced and counted stakes once.

Not thirteen because hope planted an imaginary row.

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.

Kids: four sticky notes, three times — twelve on the board. Count once.

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.

Four × three = twelve.

Four × three = twelve.
