not returning the right answer and I don't know why.

I've looked and looked at this and I don't see the issue. But it keeps telling me the script is returning the wrong answer. Can anyone help?

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

It's "your string", but it seems, that you have already solved it on your own:)
