Did you forget to put in a } somewhere along the way?

import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    /*  Some terms:
        noun - Person, place or thing
        verb - An action
        adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
        Enter your amazing code here!
    */
// __Name__ is a __adjective__ __noun__

String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: "); String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: "); String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: "); String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: "); String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing: "); console.prinf("Your TreeStory:\n----------------------\n"); console.prinf("%s is a %s %s ", name, adjective,noun);
console.prinf("They are always %s %s.\n", adverb, verb);

}}
