wrapping text around an image on css

why is my code not accepted by the challenge ? I need to wrap the text around the image on the right side.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-image {
float: left;
width: 400px;
margin: 0 1rem 1rem 0;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

      <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>

I think, in this challenge, they want you to only code the CSS, not altering the HTML at all.

This passes (code in style.css):

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.intro img {
  float: left;
  width: 400px;
  margin: 0 1rem 1rem 0;
}

Thus demonstrating that you understand descendant selector syntax (img being the descendant of the section with the 'intro' class). Keep in mind, 'descendant' just means an element nested within another (considered the 'parent') element.

I hope that helps! Happy coding!
