Build a Sentence Maker - Build a Sentence Maker

Tell us what’s happening:

My second sentence cleared the test, but the first one just won’t go through.
I’ve tried virtually everything. I replaced the first sentence with the second sentence, I replaced all the variables, I quadruple checked all of the spaces and periods, I even asked AI. I just don’t get it.
Why would the first one fail while the second sentence passed, if they’re using exactly the same structure (I know they are, I pasted the 2nd one over the 1st sentence).

Your code so far

let adjective = ('large');
let noun = ('Hydra');
let verb = ('defeated');
let place = 'room';
let adjective2 = 'bright';
let noun2 = 'chicken';


let firstStory =("Once upon a time, there was a(n) " + 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("First story: " +firstStory);

adjective = ('big');

noun =('Dragon');

verb = ('slayed');

place = ('layer');

adjective2 = ('terrible');

noun2 =('Hero');
let secondStory =("Once upon a time, there was a(n) " + 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("Second story: " +secondStory);

I would remove all of the odd extra ()s. There is no reason to stick () anywhere here except for the calls to console.log() and it isn’t clear to me why so many people have been adding them.

That actually worked! I’m really surprised! Thank you, man.
And about the parenthesis, I actually thought my code would break if I didn’t add them. Anyway, glad I got this out of my system early on the journey.

Peace.
