Vocabulary 70 - C1

Herbert sat at the kitchen table, meticulously assembling a miniature replica of the Oakhaven town hall from popsicle sticks. Margot watched, stirring a pot on the stove.

“What exactly are you doing, Herbert?” she inquired, her tone a mix of curiosity and apprehension.

“I'm entering the Oakhaven Arts & Crafts Fair!” Herbert declared, a glint in his eye. “This masterpiece will win first prize, notably increasing our family’s fortune!”

Margot sighed. “Herbert, you know you’re terrible at arts and crafts.”

“Nonsense! This year is different. I've mastered the art of popsicle stick architecture,” Herbert insisted, carefully gluing another stick. He then paused, sniffing the air appreciatively. “Is that donuts I smell? You know, the faculty at the Arts & Crafts Fair will be impressed if I provide them with refreshments… It’s all part of the strategy to win.”

Margot rolled her eyes. “That's bribery, Herbert.”

Later that day, Brian burst into the kitchen, skateboarding gear in hand.

“Mom, can you sign this permission slip for the science museum trip?” he asked, shoving a crumpled piece of paper at Margot.

Margot took the slip and noticed it was a week overdue. “Brian, this trip was last week! And what is this… ’I will not set off the fire alert during the tour’?”

Brian shrugged innocently. “Just being thorough. Besides, I couldn’t quite grasp the point of the trip anyway. Something about rocks.”

Herbert, still meticulously gluing popsicle sticks, chimed in. “Rocks are boring! Now, popsicle sticks… those are the future. Maybe there will be a congressional hearing about popsicles one day.”

Margot shook her head, signing the slip anyway. Some things, she knew, were simply inevitable.

The day of the fair arrived. Herbert proudly presented his popsicle stick town hall, complete with miniature donuts, to the judges. Brian, meanwhile, was attempting to sell hand-drawn superhero comics. Margot just hoped no one would set off any alarms.
