Margot sighed, staring at the notice from Oakhaven Council. "Herbert, this is ridiculous. They're trying to provoke everyone with this new dog park rule."

Herbert, sprawled on the sofa, grunted. "What? More rules? Can't a man watch his wrestling in peace?"

"It's about mandatory dog leashes," Margot explained, waving the paper. "Apparently, there's been a... incident."

"Incident?" Herbert perked up, momentarily distracted from the TV. "What kind of incident? Involving donuts, perhaps?"

Margot rolled her eyes. "No, Herbert, not donuts. Someone's poodle apparently chased the mayor's cat up a tree. Now it's a mandate: leashes at all times."

Later, at the park, Brian was attempting to teach his skateboard to bounce off a low wall. Laura was sketching a particularly stubborn oak tree.

"This is bogus," Brian muttered, missing the wall again. "Like anyone actually cares about these new rules."

Laura looked up from her drawing. "It's about responsibility, Brian. And frankly, the council had every right to demand this. Think about others."

Brian scowled. "Easy for you to say, Miss Goody-Two-Shoes. It's the taxpayer's money, they should focus on the roads, not dogs!"

Nearby, Herbert was attempting to collect a questionable-looking mushroom. "Now this," he mumbled to himself, "this is a fine specimen. Perfect for�?�soup."

Margot spotted him. "Herbert! Put that down! You don't know what that is. We're not having 'mushroom surprise' again after what happened last time!"
