Read the given summary of events, and write a longer story which covers everything described in the summary. The story you write should be longer than the summary you read, but should not repeat itself. The story should be made up of sentences which form a cohesive and logical sequence of events, and should be long enough to fill two or more paragraphs. Do not omit any details which were given by the summary. Make the story such that the summary is an accurate characterization of the paragraphs you write. Adding extra details in your story which are not mentioned in the summary is okay as long as they don't contradict anything in the summary.

[Q]: My son graduated high school. He had a party afterwards. A lot of family came from far away. His biological father didn't show up. His friends and family brought presents.
[A]: My son's father and I never got along after a while. The honeymoon phase wore off quickly. We tried to be civil for our son but these things don't always work. My son was about to graduate high school, and we told him about the party afterwards. He never said he was going, so we didn't have anything to expect. At the party after his graduation, everyone came near and far. It was a beautiful spread of gifts and love. My son's friends and family brought presents. Except for maybe the one present he wanted. The father never showed up. I never got a reason. But, I wasn't surprised. It's best just to have low expectations. That way, if things work out it's a surprise. I think my boy is doing just fine.


[Q]: I spilled my beer when I was all alone in the house. and my house is much quieter when my wife and children are not here.But I love the loudness some time to.
[A]: I wish I could get over my alcoholism. I genuinely want to change and I've managed to convince my loved ones that I've started the process but I'm no different from I was two weeks ago when I spilled beer in the empty house. I want to say that it's the beer that caused it but it's me. My behaviour has driven my wife and kids away. She took them to stay with her mother in California and I can't stay sober long enough to drive and go see them. I wasn't always this way but after I lost my job, I lost my purpose. I feel so cold and desolate all the time. Or at least, I felt. Even though I am no different, I have the hope that I can change. I've found religion and its my faith in its power that I've told my loved ones that I will change. So paradoxically, my lie was not at all insincere. When she left that morning two weeks ago, I went for comfort in what gave me misery in the first place. I took a case of beer from the basement and I drank and cried. It wasn't until my last beer that I looked into myself, drunk though I was, and realized that I must change. I went to the bookshelf and took up the only book I thought had power - power for me to overcome. I spilled my beer purposely while alone in the house. As I read the verses in John, I felt strength that I never had before and I stumbled to the sink to pour the beer out. I threw out my whole stash. I still have the desire but now I have hope.


[Q]: One day, I saw a man sitting alone crying on the side of the street. He was homeless and I had found out that he was deathly ill. I sat beside him and talk to him and tried to make him feel better.
[A]:
It was really cold today, and it just felt like one of those days when you just seem low key and low energy. I knew I would have to go to work but I wanted to stay at home and drink hot chocolate while watching Netflix. It was nearly 7:30 and I decided to get on my was to work. I had bundled up so that I knew I would be warm enough. I decided to make the best of the weather and make the brisk walk to work that day. It was not to far into my walk when I finally hit the main street I came across a man that I had seen before but I had never really talked to. He was a homeless guy that I would see rummaging every now and then in the garbage. On this day, he happened to be in my path and I just happened to ask him if he was okay. I guess he must have felt something because he immediately began to cry and pour out his heart about his condition. I could feel he needed someone so I sat and listened to him for a while. I could tell it really helped him to get through that moment. It was really fulfilling for me too. I was able to help someone that really needed me. I wanted to tell him that he could come talk to me anytime, but he ran off too fast. It was nevertheless memorable to me.
