Hi Alexandru,

here is my code. And it works fine.

import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {


public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();


  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 TreeStory:\n-----------\n");
  console.printf("%s is a %s %s.  ", name, adjective, noun);
  console.printf("They are always %s %s.\n", adverb, verb);

    }
}

Let me know how it works on your machine
