Discussion regarding the book 'A Byte of Python'

[Maggical1 AT netscape.net]

In working thru the examples, there are 2 things I don't understand regarding 
the continue example in chapter 6.
1. If I put print statements before the continue, no output is produced.
Example:
while True:
    s = raw_input('Enter something : ')
    if s == 'quit':
        break
    if len(s) < 3:
        print 'first statement before continue'
        print 'second statement before continue'
        continue
    print 'Input is of sufficient length'
2. As the example is shown, it doesn't matter what size string is input, the 
script will always output "Input is of sufficent length", as long as the 
string isn't quit.

Thank you in advance for any help or comments in clarifying this for me
