Hi Keith,

The error you're seeing is most often causing by missing curly brackets within your code. Essentially the compiler has reached the bottom of the source file TreeStory.java and can't find the end of either the class or a method you're implementing within it.

Best approach is to start from the top and make sure that each opening brace { has a corresponding closing brace }

Hope that helps

You are probably missing a closing curly brace
