Can't find the right things

My code can't seem to find the right "thing", but I don't remember there being a specific "thing" to find really. Any help?

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for thing in items:
        print(thing)

        if thing == "STOP":
            break

Hi Jamal,

The if/break statement needs to be inside the loop before print.

def loopy(items):
    for thing in items:
        if thing == "STOP":
            break
        print(thing)
