Shifted Board at Shade

Spike found a clue: a shifted board at the shade wall.
Suzy did not magic-solve. She looked, then looked again.
First look: board slid; gap let sun strip the cool spot.
Honest find: slide board back; soft-eye the resting herd.

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.
