Attached is the source code which accompanies the book and lessons. When I type it in I do not get the same result. I do not get the block lettering, or am I supposed to?

Hello,
 I am at the very beginning of learning Python. If anyone is familiar
 with Michael Dawson's book: "Python Programming for the Absolute
 Beginner" The following script (according to the book) should create
 "block lettering" created by dashes and vertical lines. If I could
 show a picture of it I would.

Below I have copied and pasted what appears after running the accompanied source code. When I type it manually, I cant get it to work.

print("Program 'Peter Stein' 2.0")

print("Same", "message", "as before")

print("Just",
      "a bit",
      "smaller")

print("Here", end=" ")
print("it is...")
