can't get it right. The function is good with no errors in the console, but still can't pass this quiz

function returnValue (drink, name) { var echo = drink + ' it is good'; return echo; }

returnValue( 'coffee' , ' it is good');

script.js 
function returnValue (drink, name) {
  var echo = drink + ' it is good';
  return echo;
}

returnValue( 'coffee' , ' it is good');

Hey John,

You've misunderstood the Challenge: Task 1 wanted you to create a function called returnValue that simply returns any value that you pass it; Task 2 wanted you to call the returnValue function and assign the returned value to a variable named echo. Let me know if you need more help.
