What's wrong with my code challenge?

I have absolutely no idea where my mistake is. Can anyone help me? ^_^

strlen.py 
def just_right(x):

    if len(x) < 5:
        print("Your string is too short")
    elif len(x) > 5:
        print("Your string is too long")
    else:
        return True

It wants you to return the strings, not print them. If I copy/paste your code into the challenge and replace "print" with "return" in the two places required... your code passes! Hope this helps!
