Teacher: In this task, you will be given a short story. One sentence from the story is chosen. Consider the likely emotions and basic human drives of the participants in that sentence. Does any of these states of mind/feelings motivate the participant to do what happens in that sentence? You should write your answer in the form " A >Motivates> B". Try to use phrases and sentences from the story to compose your answer when possible. For the motivation sentence, you must choose a verb from :feel(s), want(s) or like(s).
