In this task, you're given the beginning and the middle of a three-part story. Your job is to complete the short story by writing a probable ending. 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 ending, and use names instead of pronouns (e.g. he / she) wherever possible.
Example: Beginning: Helen lived in the state of Washington. Middle: Helen planned to drive to Canada but it started snowing heavily.
Example solution: Helen stayed home instead and planned to go another day.
Example explanation: Generally, people prefer not to drive in bad weather.

Problem: Beginning: Hal loved to play jacks. Middle: Then Hal grew up, got a job and had kids.

Solution: He often thinks of the days where his only care was playing jacks.
