import java.io.Console;
public class TreeStory {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
/* Some terms:

//__Name__ is a __adjective__ __noun__. They are always __adverb__ __verb__.
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: ");

4,824 PointsI think the forward slash is supposed to come before the "n".
console.printf("They are always %s %s. /n", adverb, verb);
