So numbermap.__getitem__ brings back 1, then 2,then 3, then 4.
Then it looks up 1 ,2, 3, 4 in month but there is no key with value 1, 2, or
or in 4.
What am I missing?
Thank you very much

numbermap returns the integer corresponding to the key.
That number is then used by sorted as the basis for
sorting month. So for the first entry sorted receives
the value 1, for the second it gets 2. and so on.
It then prints the keys corresponding to those
values.
