Scratch Under the Rail

Fresh scratches lived under a rail like tiny secret writing.
Pathway A: tool bump. Pathway B: animal dig. Pathway C: invent magic Cap (frozen — no).
Spike measured height: scratches matched paw dig more than tool swing.
Suzy found loose dirt and a joyful dig swirl just outside the legal dig spot.
Evidence path: off-plan dig. Soft redirect. Mark the legal dig stage again. Praise digs that stay legal.
They wiped nothing that needed keeping — scratches teach; rules keep timber safe.
Adventure Cap loved dig theatre. Lead loved rails that stay true.
Little Thunder offered no alibi and no false digs.
Kids: scratched table leg — check who was tunnelling toys before a trial.
Explore names the cause. Lead sets the stage.
Tools remind. Boundaries finish the lesson.
Legal dig. Rail safe.
