.getPage in the dot syntax cannot resolve symbol. What did I miss in the videos?

When creating the vairiable Page page = new mStory.getPage(0); in the loadPage method, the .getPage is in the predictive dot syntax, but it can not resolve the symbol. Did i miss setting a member variable in the Page.class?

here is my Page.class

<>
package com.example.thejacquet3.interactivestory.model;

/**
 * Created by thejacquet3 on 5/31/16.
 */
public class Page {
    private int mImageID;
    private String mText;
    private Choice mChoice1;
    private Choice mChoice2;
    private boolean mIsFinal = false;

    public Page(int imageID, String text, Choice choice1, Choice choice2){
        mImageID = imageID;
        mText = text;
        mChoice1 = choice1;
        mChoice2 = choice2;
    }

    public Page(int imageId, String text){
        mImageID = imageId;
        mText = text;
        mChoice1 = null;
        mChoice2 = null;
    }

    public boolean isFinal() {
        return mIsFinal;

    }

    public void setFinal(boolean isFinal) {
        mIsFinal = isFinal;
    }

    public int getImageID() {
        return mImageID;
    }

    public void setImageID(int imageID) {
        mImageID = imageID;
    }

    public String getText() {
        return mText;
    }

    public void setText(String text) {
        mText = text;
    }

    public Choice getChoice1() {
        return mChoice1;
    }

    public void setChoice1(Choice choice1) {
        mChoice1 = choice1;
    }

    public Choice getChoice2() {
        return mChoice2;
    }

    public void setChoice2(Choice choice2) {
        mChoice2 = choice2;
</p>

That code is correct. What about your return statement...does it look like this?

return mPages[pageNumber]

yes here is a snippet from the Story class

        mPages[6] = new Page(
                R.mipmap.page6,
                "You arrive home on Earth. While your mission was a success, " +
                        "you forever wonder what was sending that signal. " +
                        "Perhaps a future mission will be able to investigate...");
    }

    public Page getPage(int pageNumber) {
        return mPages[pageNumber];
    }
}
