from animal import Animal

class Sheep(Animal):
  sound  = "meee"  
  def noise(self):
    return self.sound.upper()

you got everything right except that you wrote an extra line. that animal_class doesnt need to go there. the reason for it , is that you are creating the animal class in the~~ class Sheep(Animal) ~~ line. you might want to write that but as a comment. just to keep track of what the class does.
