I am having trouble with Task 2 of this challenge. The program keeps saying that I am slicing the wrong indexes.

When I write index 1-4, which should give the right answer the program keeps saying that my code is incorrect.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title> JavaScript Foundations: Arrays</title>
    <style>
      html {
        background: #FAFAFA;
        font-family: sans-serif;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>JavaScript Foundations</h1>
    <h2>Arrays: Methods Part 2</h2>
    <script>
      var first =  ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps"]
      var second =  ["over", "the", "lazy"];
      var saying = first.concat(second, "dog"); 
      var shortSaying = saying.slice(1-4);
      var sayingString = saying;
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

You need to provide 2 arguments by using a comma instead of a hyphen:

      var shortSaying = saying.slice(1, 4);
