Trick
Teach a made-up word with one example
The prompt
A "whatpu" is a small, furry animal native to Tanzania. An example of a sentence that uses the word whatpu is: We were traveling in Africa and we saw these very cute whatpus. To do a "farduddle" means to jump up and down really fast. An example of a sentence that uses the word farduddle is:
Expected result
A grammatically correct sentence using "farduddle" as a verb consistent with its given definition — e.g. "When we won the game, we all started to farduddle in celebration."
