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.

Ex Input:
Middle: Mark's family made dinner. Ending: Mark ate dinner with his family.

Ex Output:
Mark's family was hungry.


Ex Input:

Ex Output:
Gracie stayed up all night painting a picture.


Ex Input:
Middle: Bob then decided to shred his cards. Ending: It was the best thing they could have done.

Ex Output:
