Herbert slumped onto the sofa, remote in hand. "Margot, did you see where Brian put my magazine? This is a crisis of resource allocation! I need to read about those self-watering plant pots."

Margot, folding laundry, sighed. "Herbert, it's under your donut box. And I wouldn't call your magazine reading a pressing need."

Later, at Oakhaven Industries, Herbert noticed a suspiciously large crown-shaped pastry on his supervisor's desk. It looked expensive, and tempting. He wondered if accepting such a gift would be considered corruption.

The supervisor, Mr. Peterson, beamed. "Herbert, my boy! Have a slice. A little something for ensuring the new safety regulations are… handled efficiently."

Herbert hesitated. He was easily tempted by pastry, but accepting felt wrong. "Mr. Peterson, I appreciate the offer, but I think I'll stick to my usual apple fritter."

Back home, Brian was carefully constructing a bird nest out of twigs and his sister's old guitar strings in the backyard. Laura watched, unimpressed.

"What are you doing, Brian?" she asked.

"Building a deluxe apartment for the squirrels," he replied. "They deserve a better home than that old tree."
