whats wrong with this coding? <body> <p> My first paragraph! </p> </body> HTML coding

something seems to be wrong here:

<body> <p> My first paragraph! </p> </body>

Our work space is telling us we should insert the paragraph in-between the body tags. We did it like shown above. But systems tells us we have a "bummer"

index.html 
<!--This is my story, but you should insert your own story below. Use the <p> tag to start a new paragraph and </p> at the end of each paragraph.-->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
  </head>
   <body> 
     <p> My first paragraph! </p>
  </body>
</html>

Your code is perfectly fine. The thing is that it the challenges are really specific on some things. You can't have the comment in your code. I copied your code and pasted it when I did it and it gave me the same until I deleted the comment above.
