     // --Happy Birthday ---- -----. God --- you and I wish you all the -------- in life"
      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:  ");
      String wish = console.readLine("Enter the wish:  ");
