Confused to why it's not longer passing in step 1... Any insight?

I don't know what I am doing wrong. Task 1 or step was: Create a new variable named slice1 that has the second, third, and fourth items from favorite_things.

step 2 was make slice2 variable and set it equal to last two items of favorite_things.

slices.py 
favorite_things = ['raindrops on roses', 'whiskers on kittens', 'bright copper kettles',
                   'warm woolen mittens', 'bright paper packages tied up with string',
                   'cream colored ponies', 'crisp apple strudels']
slice1 = favorite_things[1:4]
slice2 = favorite_things[5:7]

sorted_things = favortite_things[:]
sorted_things.sort()

Hey!

You had a typo on line 7

On the next to last line of code you wrote favortite_things instead of favorite_things. Fix that, and you should be good to go!
