can't get it "just_right"

Shouldnt this work?

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

strlen.py 
def just_right(some_string):
  if len(some_string)<5:
    print("Your string is too short")
  elif len(some_string)>5:
    print("Your string is too long")
  else:
    return True

The challenge wants you to return the strings not print them.
