Muddy Print at Trough

Spike found a clue: a muddy print at the trough.
Suzy did not magic-solve. She looked, then looked again.
First look: the print pointed to the shade rail, not the open gate.
Honest find: a thirsty pup had visited, then rested soft.
Adventure Cap wanted a flashy guess. Care said follow the pathway.
Thinking Cap habit: notice, name, check. Cap does not invent by magic.
Pavlova supervised like a fluffy detective and added zero by staring.
Little Thunder declined commentary with mahogany dignity — farm bull stillness only.
Kids: one clue, one honest check, one soft report.
Farm detective work is a promise living things can trust.
