Challenge 2. task 1 not passing

I've tried doing [5:7] and it gives me the same error. I have tried searching for the answer and nothing works. Any ideas?

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 = favortie_things[-2:]
