No problem. Glad you could make it. Hey. Have you met any of the famous guests so far?

Hey. Byam. This looks a great party. [Yeah!] Thanks for inviting me.

Uh, no. Who exactly?

Well, there is Gregorio Zuttlemisterburger . . . [Who?]. Ah. They call him the "Grip" for short.

Who in the world is he?

You've never heard of him? [No.] He's the world famous snake trainer . . . He's never met a snake he

couldn't train to dance and hiss at the same time.

Seriously? Where is he?

Uh, he's the tall guy over there in the purple jacket and green pants. He probably has a snake or two

with him tonight.

Huh?

And then there is Georgina, the Great.

Georgina . . . and great for what?

Are you serious? You've never heard of her? She is the world's greatest arm wrestler. I mean, World

champion. She's the petite woman next to the fireplace with the bright yellow dress and the tennis shoes.

I thought you said famous people . . . like, like people we all know.

And, and there is Brad Pitt . . .

Now, there's someone I recognize . . .

. . . the captain of the national Yo-Yo team [What?]. Yeah. He's the short, stocky man sitting at the

table wearing the black and red checkered shirt. I'm sure he'd do a few tricks for you if you asked.
