String burns = "My love is like a red, red rose.";

	. . . . . .

     if ( burns.toLower().startsWith( "  MY LOVE".trim().toLower() ) )
       System.out.println( "Both start with the same letters." ); 
     else
       System.out.println( "Prefix fails." );

What does the above write to the monitor?

A good answer might be:

Both start with the same letters.
