    /*
     * Directions: You are tasked with making a short “Choose Your 
Own Adventure” story. You should decide on a plot and use a scanner
for the user to make a decision to further the story. You may write
all your code in one main method, or if you would like to reuse code,
you can write the code for each situation in a separate method and
then call the methods. 

You should use the following four methods 
at least once in deciding the next step of your story- 
.equals(), .length(), .substring(int) or .substring (int, int), 
and .indexOf(String). Be creative and have fun!
