Slices

Keneth said it doesn't include the last number so why is this wrong

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[2:5]

Remember that the second element in the list is at index 1, so your slice should start there.
