Yards of Fifteen by Four

Speed

The small yard waited: fifteen steps long, four steps wide.

Fifteen times four — how many square steps?

Fifteen times four is sixty. Not sixty-one by magic.

Suzy checked once more so the count stayed 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: a grid fifteen by four — sixty squares.

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.

Fifteen × four = sixty square steps.

Fifteen × four = sixty square steps.
