Create a new class named Dragon that extends the Monster class. Don't forget to import Monster from monster.

This is the error I receive: Bummer! ImportError: No module named 'Monster' Here is my code:

class Monster:
  def __init__(self, size):
    self.size = size
  def getsize(self):
    return self.size

import Monster 

class Dragon(Monster):
  def getsize(self):
    return self.size
my_monster.py 
class Monster:
  def __init__(self, size):
    self.size = size
  def getsize(self):
    return self.size

import Monster 

class Dragon(Monster):
  def getsize(self):
    return self.size

class Monster:
  def __init__(self, size):
    self.size = size
  def getsize(self):
    return self.size

^This is unnecessary code for the challenge

"Don't forget to import Monster from monster" means

from monster import Monster

Just create a subclass called Dragon and give it a size attribute

from monster import Monster

class Dragon(Monster):
    #size attribute
