Vocabulary 214 - C1

Herbert sat in his armchair, a half-eaten donut resting on his ample belly. He was contemplating the future, specifically how to avoid going to work. "Margot," he called out, "I've had an epiphany! A revival of my youthful entrepreneurial spirit!"

Margot, folding laundry, barely glanced up. "Oh, Herbert, not another one of your schemes. The last one involved selling 'Oakhaven Air' in jars."

Herbert waved his hand dismissively. "That was ahead of its time! This, my dear, is different. I'm talking about a home-based business. Think of the optimism we'll inspire!"

"Based on what?" Margot asked, her voice laced with skepticism.

"Based on my… uh… vast knowledge of…" Herbert trailed off, eyes darting around the room, landing on a medical drama playing on the television. "Kidney bean art!"

Margot stopped folding. "Kidney bean… what?"

"Art!" Herbert declared, puffing out his chest. "Think about it. Portraits, landscapes, all painstakingly crafted from… kidney beans! It will be brutal, intensive work, but worth it!"

Just then, Brian skateboarded through the living room, nearly tripping over Herbert's feet. "Whoa, Dad, what's with all the shouting? You're causing a major disruption to my online game!"

"I'm launching a business, son! A bean-based empire!" Herbert announced.

Brian stared at him, then at Margot, who simply sighed. "Sounds… messy," Brian mumbled, before speeding off, presumably to escape the impending bean-related chaos.
