Definition: You are given a background paragraph that describes one or more causal or physical relationships, such as a relationship in economics, scientific law, or nature. You need to come up with a fictional story that makes use of the concepts or the relationship described in the provided paragraph. Make sure that your story does not repeat the relation in the given paragraph (e.g., by avoiding verbatim copies of the given paragraph). Start by reading the background paragraph, and determine what relationship(s) are in the paragraph. Write a story that involves the relationship(s) that you determined are in the background paragraph. Try to use your own words as much as possible and not repeat the background paragraph. Feel free to make up places and events as long as they tie back to the background paragraph in a way that you can ask a question about.

Positive Example 1 -
Input: Background Paragraph: A rise in price of a good or service almost always decreases the quantity demanded of that good or service. Conversely, a fall in price will increase the quantity demanded. When the price of a gallon of gasoline increases, for example, people look for ways to reduce their consumption by combining several errands, commuting by carpool or mass transit, or taking weekend or vacation trips closer to home. Economists call this inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded the law of demand. The law of demand assumes that all other variables that affect demand (which we explain in the next module) are held constant.
Output: The AAA auto club does a weekly report on the prices of gas and diesel in various cities. Historically, the prices have be fairly stagnant, but this week their report garnered widespread attention as the prices of gas and diesel plunged from last week in Seattle by $0.40 each. However, just across the border in Vancouver, the cost of gas went up dramatically by $0.50.

Positive Example 2 -
Input: Background Paragraph: The lesson is not that society is likely to make an extreme choice like devoting no resources to education at point A or no resources to health at point F. Instead, the lesson is that the gains from committing additional marginal resources to education depend on how much is already being spent. If on the one hand, very few resources are currently committed to education, then an increase in resources used can bring relatively large gains. On the other hand, if a large number of resources are already committed to education, then committing additional resources will bring relatively smaller gains.
Output: The state is deciding where to spend the rest of their budget for education. In an analysis of how districts in the state are spending their annual budgets, auditors found that in district A, most of the money was already being spent on schools. However, in district B, the money was not spent on school, but mostly on transportation.

Now complete the following example -
Input: Background Paragraph: Friction between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface causes a 20% reduction in the wind at the surface of the Earth.[10] Surface roughness also leads to significant variation of wind speeds. Over land, winds maximize at hill or mountain crests, while sheltering leads to lower wind speeds in valleys and lee slopes.[11] Compared to over water, maximum sustained winds over land average 8% lower.[12] More specifically, over a city or rough terrain, the wind gradient effect could cause a reduction of 40% to 50% of the geostrophic wind speed aloft; while over open water or ice, the reduction is between 10% and 30%.[8][13][14].

Stories:
Bill is going on vacation this week, and is visiting two local sites. One, is Deep Valley, and the other is Mount Tall. He will be going to Deep Valley on Monday and Tuesday, and then visit Mount Tall on Thursday and Friday. He has decided that on his trip he wants to fly his kite at some point, but also wants to have a picnic on the other days. He would prefer an area of high wind for flying his kite, and an area of low winds to have his picnic so his food doesn't blow asunder.

Steve is going on a trip soon, and will be visiting various geographical sites while site seeing. He is looking to fly a kite on one of his trips, which will require a good spot with a lot of wind, and on another day, he hopes to have a nice serene picnic, with a calm atmosphere and not so much wind gusting about. On Monday, he will go to Heaven's Valley, and on Tuesday he will be visiting Mount Smith.

Steve is taking his family on a couple of outings soon. He wants to fly kites one day, then go on a nice picnic in a nice and non windy area the next. His wife wants to go to Hinton Beach one of the days, and his daughter wants to see Till's Valley an another of the days.

The Johnson Family is planning a couple of excursions next week. On Wednesday they will be going to Tulsa Valley, and on Friday they are going to Albert's Peak, a small mountain in the area. Mr. Johnson has been wanting to fly some kites if there are some good wind conditions for doing so. He also wants to treat his family to a picnic and would like a more serene setting, with little to no wind to disrupt their picnic.
