import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    /*  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!
    */

  int age = 12;
  if (age < 13) {

    console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program.\n");
    System.exit(0);
  }

  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:  ");

HI Magnus,

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 an __adjective__ __noun__. They're always __adverb__ __verb__.
        int age = 12;
        if (age < 13) {
         console.printf("Sorry, you must be at least 13 to use this program./n");  
         System.exit(0);
        }
        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.printf("Your Tree Story: ");
        console.printf( "%s is a %s %s.  ", name, adjective, noun);
        console.printf("They are always %s %s.\n", adverb, verb);
    }
}

Here is my version of the code. Try this one and report if this one worked for you.
