What's wrong with my code? Here is the video: http://bit.ly/javaquestion

Here is my code:

 import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    /*  Some terms:
        noun - Person, place or thing
        verb - An action
        adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
        Enter your amazing code here!
    */
  //__Name__ is a __adjective__ __noun__.  They are always 
  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 adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective:  ");
  String noun = "";
  do {
    noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun:  ");
    if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
        noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk")) {
      console.printf("That language is not allowed. Try Again. \n\n");
    }
  } while(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
  String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adjective:  ");
  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);
}

This is the same code the teacher has at like the 3:15 minute mark, and from a Jeremey Hill I got some help and I tweaked the code by two suggestions from him. Is there anything wrong?

This is the error message I'm getting.

TreeStory.java:37: error: reached end of file while parsing                   
}                                                                             
 ^
