help me here

The script works just fine on my computer but here it gives me an error. Why?

strlen.py 
def just_right(arg):
  if len(arg) < 5:
    print("your string is too short")
  elif len(arg) > 5:
    print("Your string is too long")
  else:
    True

:point_right: You're close, but the challenge asks you to return the strings, not print them.

Also, you need a return keyword in front of that "True".
