please help on python collections

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.

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
slice1 [2:3:4]
slice1 = ['whiskers on kittens','bright copper kettles','warm woolen mittens']
slice2 = favorite_things
slice2 [6:7]
slice2 = ['cream colored ponies', 'crisp apple strudels']
