I think you might be missing a semicolon after your console.printf line:

Console.printf ("sorry, you must be at least 13 to use this.\n")

String verb = console.readLine("enter a verb ending in -ing: ";

It looks like you're missing a right parenthesis bracket, too.

Try: String verb = console.readLine("enter a verb ending in -ing: ");

I think you accidentally removed the main method....

TreeStory.java 
import java.io.Console;
public class TreeStory {
    //Missing this
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       //your code here
       //...
    // Need to close
    }
// Need to close
}
