Why it keep telling me to try again? I can't see any issue

Oops, I forgot that I need to break out of the loop when the current item is the string "STOP". Help me add that code!

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:

         if item == 'STOP':    
            break

            else:
        print(item)

    # Code goes here

It's not the break that is the issue, remember in Python indentation counts, make sure all the lines you have written are properly indented.
