It's hard to be sure, since you did not blockquote your code markup could be eating some of the symbols.

:point_right: But it looks like you forgot to put quotes around your strings in the prompt and alerts.

It works if quotes are added:

var name = prompt("Enter your desired name ?");
var place = prompt("Enter your desired place ?");
var animal = prompt("Enter your desired animal ?");
alert("You are done!!!! Wait to see result.......");
var story = name + " went to " + place + " along with " + animal;
document.write(story);
