I am having trouble sorting lists?

My task is to:

Alright, let's make this last step a bit harder and do two things. Make a copy of favorite_things and name it sorted_things. Then use .sort() to sort sorted_things.

It says task one is no longer passing

Thanks in advance

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[6:10]
sorted_things = favorite_things[:]
sorted_things.sort()

some times you can get over that glitch by leaving the challenge and coming back. Your code should still be there.
