Java Local Development Environments Advanced Tooling Finishing TreeStory

It says i havnet added a new story? It is compiling through but not passing the challenge.

I need help with this one, I did all the TODO'S but i think the tds were slightly vague on when they needed to add a new story to it. I'm not familiar with some of the code he is using such as Path and Pattern, but I get the basic idea of them. I could look them up in oracle but that doesnt seem to be the issue imo. What am i missing and where in order for there to be new input for the words? I will keep trying to figure it out until I get an answer and will update if i figure it out. Thankyou.

#  This is essentially what I am testing 
1.  The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).

  a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.

2.  The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.

   a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
      User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word

3.  The user is presented with the completed story
