Calculating how many sub directories and files in 'documents/'

I'm learning Linux through a gameshell.

Like the title says; I need to find the amount of sub directories and files in 'documents/'. The command runs fine but its the not the right answer. Here's my command :

Code:
find docuemnts/ -type f | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'

What am i doing wrong ?
