Hello everyone. I worked on the assignment below but keep getting the statement that ( The `main` element should have two paragraph elements as children.) Please what does it mean

```auto
<p>Kitty ipsum dolor sit amet, shed everywhere shed everywhere stretching attack your ankles chase the red dot, hairball run catnip eat the grass sniff.</p>

<main>

<p>Purr jump eat the grass rip the couch scratched sunbathe, shed everywhere rip the couch sleep in the sink fluffy fur catnip scratched.</p>

</main>

```

Both the `<p>` elements must be between the `<main>` tags. Right now only the second `<p>` does that.
