Unable to read csv file from assets

I am trying to read a csv file from the android assets folder. I have viewed other posts on this and it seems I have it set up as others do. I have tried this.getAssets() and passing the context to the method and using context.getAssests() Here is the code that I am using to read the file. And put the information into a database. 

try{
        AssetManager mng = getApplicationContext().getAssets();
        InputStream is = mng.open("word_types.csv");
        CSVReader csv = new CSVReader(new InputStreamReader(is));

        String[] s;
        while((s = csv.readNext()) != null){
            db.addWordType(Integer.parseInt(s[0]), s[1], Integer.parseInt(s[2]));
        }   
        csv.close();
    }catch(IOException ioe){
        Log.e("File Read Error: ","" + ioe.getMessage());
    }

    for(int i=1;i<=12 ;i++ )
            Log.i(i+" = ", ""+ db.getWordType(i));

Here is what prints out in logcat:

E/File Read Error: (25767): word_types.csv
I/1 =     (25767): null
I/2 =     (25767): null
I/3 =     (25767): null
I/4 =     (25767): null
I/5 =     (25767): null
I/6 =     (25767): null
I/7 =     (25767): null
I/8 =     (25767): null
I/9 =     (25767): null
I/10 =    (25767): null
I/11 =    (25767): null
I/12 =    (25767): null

I realized I had made a stupid mistake. Thank you CommonsWare for telling me about printing out the stacktrace like that. I did not know about adding ioe as a third parameter. After viewing the stacktrace I realized that I spelled the assets directory wrong. I had assests.
