Detailed Instructions: In this task, you're given the middle and ending of a three-part story. Your job is to complete the short story by writing a probable beginning of the story. Generated sentences must be short, have fewer than 10 words, and be simple as if narrating to a child. Avoid using any irrelevant extra information when creating the beginning, and use names (e.g. Jack, Barbara,...) instead of pronouns (e.g. he / she) wherever possible. See one example below: Problem: Middle: Helen planned to drive to Canada but it started snowing heavily. Ending: Helen stayed home instead and planned to go another day. Solution: Helen lived in America. Explanation: Mention of the destination country name and driving implies that Helen is from a nearby foreign country. Problem: Middle: I tried to go without the map and got lost. Ending: I pulled out the map and got back on course. Solution:
