The Animals are Having a Feast

The animals are having a feast!

The only rule for this feast is that the animals must bring a dish of food whose name starts and ends with the same letters as the animal’s name.

For example, Chickadee is bringing chocolate cake, the Great blue heron is bringing garlic naan, and Mr. Moose is bringing mousse. However, the fox is not permitted at the feast because he wants to bring fritters.

Your job is to decide if a particular animal is permitted at the feast based on the dish they want to bring.

Careful - look at those examples above carefully.

File Specification

Create the executable file ~/js/feast.js
The top of the file must be a block comment with your name.
- Optionally include the date and a brief description of the program.
