Your code so far

let adjective;

noun2 = "fruit";

let firstStory;

firstStory = (["Once upon a time, there was an " +  adjective + noun + " who loved to eat " + noun2 + ". " + "The " + noun + " lived in a " + place + " and had " + adjective2 + " nostrils that blew fire when it was " + verb + "."])
console.log(firstStory);

2

note that firstStory should be a string, not an array containing a string

3

Have arrays even been taught at this point in the curriculum?

I only ask because I assume you are using prior knowledge and not just misinterpreting the [placeholder] bits in the text?

4

I was never good at spacing strings, is the spacing at least correct?

5

LOL! You are correct sir. Haven’t done coding since I retired in 2017.

6

what do the tests say about that once you make that a string and not an array containining a string?

also you need to check again the user stories about logging

7

You should use the correct story format for the first story: Pay attention to spaces.

8

this is what I see when I remove the [] from your code.

That eighth word doesn’t look right to me

You have the same issue with the other string. so you need to fix that.

this is what I see on my end regarding what to log

You should output your first story to the console using the message "First story: [firstStory]".

I don’t see that in your code here

same goes for the other story.

Lastly, you have a typo in both stories. it is towards the end after adjective2

I would first get story one working, then you can copy and paste that correct format to the second story assignment

once I fix all of those things, then it passes for me

hope that helps
