Who Moved the Water Dish?

At noon the water dish sat in a thin useless stripe of shade. Animals looked unimpressed.
Pathway one: sun moved (true every day). Pathway two: dish moved (check). Pathway three: ignore thirst signals.
Spike compared memory to now. Suzy found drag grooves — dish had travelled toward a goat game.
Who? Curiosity cocktail: goat shoulder theatre plus a helpful breeze.
They reset the dish into real shade by the trough wall. Measured comfort with eyes. Better.
Care pathway beats blame pathway. Water stayed cool. Soft eyes returned.
Adventure Cap loved the mystery. Care loved the mend.
Little Thunder drank and sighed mahogany relief.
Spell nothing magical — just move the dish where shade works.
Kids: if the blanket fort collapses, rebuild for comfort, then ask how it fell.
Detective close: dish true. Shadow kind. Clue filed.
Reset dish. Keep cool.
