Ah. You have to decide on a concrete /kind/ of block.
So try:

  #+begin_example
  This is a small example
  with two lines
  #+end_example

(BTW. I seem to remember that Org prefers to spell those things in lower
case these days, as in my example).

There are some block kinds which Org "knows about" and treats specially,
like _example, _quote, _center, _src and so on.

Cheers
