slice challenge question 1 of 3.

Here is the question: Let's get in some slice practice!

Create a new variable named slice1 that has the second, third, and fourth items from favorite_things.

Here is my answer:

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] 
slice1.extend(favorite_things[-2:])

Here is the error: Bummer: Didn't find the right things in slice1.

I don't know where i went wrong

Why are you extending it with slice1.extend(favorite_things[-2:])

Never Mind i mistaked the two tasks and instead of making a new

#instead of doing this
slice2= favorite_things[-2:]
slice1= favorite_things[1:4]

#i did this
slice1 = favorite_things[1:4]
slice1 = favorite_things[-2:]

#i never made a new slice2 variable was my mistake.

It's because they asked to add the last two elements of the list to slice1
