Need help. I'm not seeing what I got wrong.

// my error import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

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

// my code

import java.io.Console;

public class Questions {

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

    String anyQuestions = console.readline("Are they any questions?  \n");
    while (anyQuestions.equals("yes")) 
    {
      String question = console.readline("What is your question? \n");
      console.printf("I do not understand your question: %s", question);
      anyQuestions = console.readline("Are there any more questions? \n");
    }

  console.printf("Next slide..."); 
  }
}
