add a nested order to "shapes" item list

<ul> <li>Shapes</li> <ol> <li>list</li> </ol> <li>Colors</li> </ul>

why isn't this working?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->

    <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>

    <ul>
      <li>Shapes</li>
         <ol> 
          <li>list</li>
         </ol>
      <li>Colors</li>
     </ul>

Make sure you nest the ordered list within a list item element and not after.

The ol should be a child of its li parent and not a sibling.

<ul>
  <li>Nested ordered list
    <ol>
      <li>Item 01</li>
      <li>Item 02</li>
      <li>Item 03</li>
   </ol>
  </li>
</ul>
