Straw Trail to the Nest

A line of straw lay like a dotted map from feed bay toward the tool shade.
Pathway one: jump to ‘fox’. Pathway two: follow each straw. Pathway three: ignore and sweep.
Spike chose two. Suzy already had her nose on straw one, two, three.
End of trail: Pavlova arranging a luxury nest where nests do not belong.
Not a fox. A queen with interior design opinions.
Soft eye. Soft redirect. Offer the real nest box. Carry one straw back as a joke and leave the rest for cleaning.
Tokyo would have darted through the evidence; cattle stayed out.
Explorer gear reminds Spike to follow dots in order. Dots still need a walking dog.
Mystery type: farm-mystery · chicken edition. No Cap plots in the straw.
You can follow crumb trails in stories and toy rooms — finish the path before the scary guess.
Nest returned to coop. Latch. Queen restored to legal throne.
Follow straw. Fix nest.
