TASK DEFINITION: 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.

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.
