Vocabulary 171 - C1

Herbert was in a panic. "Margot, the model train convention is tomorrow!" he exclaimed.
Margot, calmly folding laundry, replied, "Yes, dear. And?"
"And! My prized 'Oakhaven Express' is missing a crucial part!" Herbert wailed. "The entire exhibit is dependent on its perfect preservation!"

Margot sighed. "Herbert, last week you were using parts from it to fix Brian's remote control car. Remember?"

Herbert's face fell. "Oh. Right."

Later, at the Corner Shop, Herbert was trying to explain the situation to Brian.
"So, basically," Brian summarized, munching on a candy bar, "the train won't work, whereby you can't show it off?"
"Exactly! And it has to be viable! It needs to move by tomorrow."

Brian considered this. "What if we…borrowed…Laura's science project motor?"
Herbert's eyes lit up. "That's…surprisingly clever! But we need to exercise discretion. Laura would kill us if she knew."

The next day, the 'Oakhaven Express', powered predominantly by a modified science project motor, chugged valiantly around its tiny track. Margot watched, shaking her head, as Herbert beamed with pride.
Laura was too busy explaining the benefits of solar energy to notice the missing motor. For now, at least, disaster was averted.
