An interesting birthday party
On Saturday afternoon, local eccentric Dr. Oliver Creek stone held a remarkable 90th birthday at his countryside estate. Present were 3000 guests, four zebras, two monster trucks, and a famous bagpipe player from Scotland. Though pleased with the entertainment, attendees reportedly were shocked that the complimentary buffet contained only boiled asparagus and pickled carrots. At nightfall, the party was treated to a stunning and seemingly endless fireworks display. According to our sources, Dr. Creekstone felt that next year's birthday party would have to be even bigger and more interesting. We'll need at least seven more zebras, he said.

o Dr. Oliver Creekstone is an unconventional fellow
o Dr. Oliver Creekstone is a carnivorous eater
o The Creekstone estate is a half-acre lot line with tress
o The Creekstone estate cannot hold seven more zebras.
