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.

Example input: Middle: Helen planned to drive to Canada but it started snowing heavily. Ending: Helen stayed home instead and planned to go another day.
Example output: Helen lived in America.
Example explanation: Mention of the destination country name and driving implies that Helen is from a nearby foreign country.
Q: Middle: Amy got a tutor to help her. Ending: But it was all worth it to pass the class.
A:
Amy was failing geometry.
