Error writing code for TreeStory exercise in Java Basics

Here is my code:

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!
    */

  String name = console.readLine("Enter your 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 in -ing: ");

  console.printf("Your TreeStory:n\------------------n\");
  console.printf("%s is a(n) %s %s. ", name, adjective, noun);
  console.printf("They are always %s %s.", adverb, verb);

and here is the error message from the console:

I didn't see the error message. But it looks like you are missing a curly brace at the very end of your code: "}" If that is the case then your error message would say: "reached the end of file while parsing".
