Parsing error?

So i came across this parsing error while running my code:

TreeStory.java:26: error: reached end of file while parsing
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ") ; }}
^
1 error

I looked it up and found that it has something to do with closing the brackets. But I can't seem to find my error. Any help is greatly appreciated

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. They are always__adverb__verb__.

String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you?");
int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString); if (age < 13) { //insert exit code console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program. \n"); System.exit(0); } {
String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: "); if (noun.equals("dork")) {console.printf("That language is not allowed. Exiting."); String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: "); String noun = console.readLine ("Enter a noun: "); String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ") ; }}

Hi Aaron!

You are missing the closing curly brace for your second if statement and you also have some of your lines of code mixed up. Your second if statement should begin after

String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun:  ");

Hope this helps! :-)

Thank you! it does!
