Tilted Bucket at the Shed

A bucket leaned at the shed like a tired comma.

Spike checked the spill arc. Suzy checked for prints in the damp.

Clue one: spill pointed downhill toward the drain, not the grain.

Clue two: a broom rested nearby — someone started a clean and left mid-job.

Clue three: the lid sat honest on the shelf — not a raid story.

Adventure Cap wanted a thief tale. Thinking Cap habit said finish the job first.

Tools reminded: tilt, spill, tools nearby. Tools did not magic-solve.

They stood the bucket, swept soft, and clicked the shed latch true.

Kids: if a bucket tilts, stand it and look for a half-finished job.
