What is wrong with this code. it makes sense in my head but the challenge wont accept it

I dont know what's 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[1:4]
slice2 = favorite_things[5:]
sorted_things = favorite_things[:]
sorted_things.sort()

The code is fine, but somehow a stray "]" symbol got added to the first string of the array.

Just put the array back to how it was supplied and you'll pass.
