## Description
<section id='description'>
HTML5 introduces more descriptive HTML tags. These include <code>main</code>, <code>header</code>, <code>footer</code>, <code>nav</code>, <code>video</code>, <code>article</code>, <code>section</code> and others.
These tags give a descriptive structure to your HTML, make your HTML easier to read, and help with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and accessibility. The <code>main</code> HTML5 tag helps search engines and other developers find the main content of your page.
Example usage, a <code>main</code> element with two child elements nested inside it:

```html
<main> 
  <h1>Hello World</h1>
  <p>Hello Paragraph</p>
</main>
```

<strong>Note:</strong> Many of the new HTML5 tags and their benefits are covered in the Applied Accessibility section.

## Instructions

Create a second <code>p</code> element after the existing <code>p</code> element with the following kitty ipsum text: <code>Purr jump eat the grass rip the couch scratched sunbathe, shed everywhere rip the couch sleep in the sink fluffy fur catnip scratched.</code>
Then, create a <code>main</code> element and nest the two <code>p</code> elements inside the <code>main</code> element.
