Loose Twine on the Bale

Loose twine fluttered on a bale like a half-told sentence.
Spike held the end. Suzy looked for who needed hay and who needed space.
Clue one: twine cut clean — scissors job, not teeth.
Clue two: a flake already missing — morning feed started here.
Clue three: the next bale still tight — this one only unfinished.
Adventure Cap wanted a goat conspiracy. Thinking Cap habit said retie first.
Tools reminded: secure feed before stories grow. Tools did not invent goats.
They retied soft and moved the flake to the plan trough.
Kids: if string hangs loose, finish the tie before you invent a culprit.
Explore notices. Learn names the cut. Care feeds. Lead finishes.
Honest tie. Soft feed. Kind end.
Finish the tie. Then the story.
Retie. Feed. Finish.
