Vocabulary 47 - B1

Herbert sat in his armchair, watching TV. Margot walked in, carrying a stack of papers.

Margot sighed. "Herbert, I need your help. There's a new trend of leaving shopping carts all over Oakhaven. The town wants people to return them."

Herbert grumbled, "That's not my duty, Margot. That's someone else's job."

Margot raised an eyebrow. "Well, someone has to do it. And the consequence of not doing it is that Oakhaven looks like a mess. Plus, there's a small fine."

Herbert considered this. "A fine, you say? What's the length of the fine?"

"Ten dollars per abandoned cart," Margot replied.

Herbert's eyes widened. "Ten dollars! Maybe... maybe I'll take a little walk. For the good of Oakhaven, of course."

Later, Brian walked in. He saw Herbert heading out with gloves and a determined look.

"Where are you going, Dad?" Brian asked.

"On a very important mission, Brian," Herbert said mysteriously. "The town needs me!"

Brian shrugged. "Okay... just don't forget to pick up my skateboard from the park later."

Herbert waved his hand dismissively. He rounded the corner and spotted a shopping cart near the Corner Shop. His reaction was immediate: a wide grin spread across his face. Ten dollars saved!

Meanwhile, Margot smiled, knowing Herbert was probably thinking more about avoiding the fine than civic duty.

However, Brian witnessed the scene, his reaction a mix of amusement and slight embarrassment. He knew his dad, and guessed the 'mission' involved something less than noble intentions.
