Mad Libs is a children\'s game in which they provide a few words that are then incorporated into a silly story. The game helps children understand different parts of speech because they are asked to provide specific types of words. For example, you might ask a child for a noun, another noun, an adjective, and a past-tense verb. The child might reply with such answers as table, book, silly, and studied. The newly created Mad Lib might be: Mary had a little table Its book was silly as snow And everywhere that Mary studied The table was sure to go. Create a Mad Libs program that asks the user to provide at least four or five words, and then create and display a short story or nursery rhyme that uses them. Save the file as MadLib.java.

}
private static String getInput(String msg) throws IOException
{

return stdin.readLine();
}
private static void printOutput (String noun1, String adverb, String noun2, String pronoun,
String adj)
{
String output = " Three blind " + noun1 + ", Three blind " + noun1 + ", see " +

2. System.out.println(output);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
intro();
String noun1 = getInput("Enter a noun : ");
