OOP: Animal inheritance

Java Core
Level 5, Lesson 2

Next to a mouse, even a goose is enormous. But next to a dragon... In this task, we have geese (Goose class) and dragons (Dragon class). As well as their ancestors, BigAnimal and SmallAnimal classes. Guess for yourself whose ancestor is whose. Then override the String getSize() method for Goose and Dragon so that they display strings about the animal's size.

There seems to be a typo here: 5. In the Goose class, the getSize method must be overridden. It should return a string formatted as follows: "A goose is small," + .getSize(). 6. In the Dragon class, the getSize method must be overridden. It should return a string formatted as follows: "A dragon is big," + .getSize().

Yes, there is. It only passed when you give a space between comma and ". Like this - 
"A goose is small, " + super.getSize().

There's a clear space between the comma and the quote mark:
