Have you ever seen a filing cabinet?
It is a container which holds items in a particular order.
A filing cabinet with 4 drawers could be considered to be a list with 4 items.
cabinet[0] is the top drawer
cabinet[3] is the bottom drawer
In the drawers may be a single item, or may be a number of folders.
A number of folders could be considered to be a nested list, because it is possible to reference the folder by it position/index.
The same concept applies to the contents of the folder.
Example:
cabinet[0][4][3]
refers to:
Top drawer
5th folder
4th item in folder
