Float

I feel like I am doing what Is asking me to do, but yet is marking my answer as wrong. Can someone tell me why?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.small-img{
  float:right;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">

      <h1>The verdict is in. CSS Layout is great!</h1>
      <p class="clear">I’ve been working with CSS for a while now, and I have to say, it’s pretty awesome. I love being able to separate content from presentation, and to keep all my styles in an external stylesheet.</p>
      <p>I’ve had a pretty good grasp on the basics for a while now, but I needed to learn more about how to control layout with my CSS. Understanding CSS layout meant first exploring the parts of the CSS box model.</p>

Geovani,

This challenge is asking you to target the img element alone. When targeting HTML elements you do not need to include a period, as that is how to target a class identifier. Additionally, for text to wrap around the right side of an element, you need to float: left;. See below, it should help. 

img {
float: left;
}
