Vocabulary 6 - B2

Herbert sat at the kitchen table, a deep concern etched on his face. Margot watched him, stirring her coffee.

“What's wrong, Herbert?” she asked. “You look like you’ve lost your best fishing rod.”

Herbert sighed. “It's this new health and safety manual at Oakhaven Industries. They've given me more power! More responsibility!”

Margot raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Yet,” Herbert continued, ignoring her, “it means more paperwork. Endless forms. I'm supposed to assess the safety of… everything. Even Mr. Abernathy's prize-winning petunias because someone might trip over them!”

Margot chuckled. “Well, someone could trip.”

Later that day, Brian was attempting a skateboarding trick in the living room, much to Margot's dismay.

“Brian Walker! Take that thing outside, please! I don’t want you to become a case subject at Oakhaven General!”

Brian grumbled but obediently wheeled his skateboard out the door.

Herbert walked in, looking even more stressed than before. “Margot, I need your help. I have to make a visual presentation about workplace safety. I need… pictures. And maybe a catchy jingle.”

Margot sighed, “Herbert, I’m making dinner. Ask Laura. She's good with computers. And maybe you should focus less on jingles and more on, you know, actual safety.”

Herbert trudged upstairs to Laura's room. He knocked gently. Laura, headphones on, looked up from her book.

“Laura, dear, can you help your old dad? I need a picture, a figure of someone who is… safe.”

Laura paused her music. “Like, a superhero of safety?”

“Exactly! A superhero! But… safe.” Herbert beamed.

Laura smiled slightly. "I think I have an idea."
