Carbon Street is a long, tree-lined street with majestic houses on either side. The houses are owned by millionaires who cherish their quiet, residential street. Throughout the day, the only noise is usually the sound of various birds singing in the trees or the occasional jetliner flying high overhead. Not even the sound of gas leaf blowers or gas lawn mowers invades the silence.
But, nothing lasts forever. Carbon Street is about to change. Mr. Bing, a self-made billionaire, has a plan. A big plan. A big plan for a big house. Mr. Bing says he likes to do everything big.
I like to make a statement. Whats the use of being on this planet if others dont know that youre here? After years of searching all over the world, I have determined that Carbon Street is the perfect place to live. I plan to build the biggest house in the world at the end of this street. Construction will take about three years, but it will be worth it. Im going to throw at least one party every weekend for all my friends. Its going to be fantastic!
Its going to be a nightmare, said one neighbor. Were already talking to some realtors. Three years of construction. Three years of trucks going back and forth every day. And then parties every weekend? We cant even sue himI think hes got more money than our whole state. No, its time to move. We went from having the nicest neighborhood to having the worst neighborhood, all because of one new neighbor. I wonder who the idiot is who told him about our street.
