It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

I need help.

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 = faverite_things [5:]

Hi there! You've introduced a syntax error by misspelling the variable name.

You typed:

slice2 = faverite_things [5:]

But you meant to type:

slice2 = favorite_things [5:]

Note the spelling difference in "favorite".

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
