Animal.noise() returns self.sound.lower(). Make Sheep.noise() return the uppercased version of the instance's sound.

Need help to resolve this one. Thanks in advance. Here is what I did:

from animal import Animal

class Sheep(Animal):
  sound = 'aaaaaaaahhhhaaaaa'
  pass
  def animal_noise(self):
    return self.sound()
  def sheep_noise(self):
    return self.sound.uppercase()

pass is only meant to be used while the class is empty. Once you put methods into it, take out the pass.

That said, your code isn't passing because you need to make Sheep.noise() respond different, not Sheep.sheep_noise().

To answer your second question, it is 

.upper()

Indeed.

Thanks David! Unfortunately, .upper() didn't work for me.
