In this lesson about using “”" for multiline strings - i did the following:

Assign the string here

to_you = “”“if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why
should you not speak to me?
And why should I not speak to you?”""

print(to_you)

And I get a message on the bottom saying:

Did you set to_you to the given Whitman poem?

How do I set ‘to_you’ to the given Whitman poem if not the way I did it above?
I’d like to get this right and move on to the next lesson.
Thanks in advance for your helpl
