How do I render a template variable inside a for loop, when the var is a dict and the key is forloop.counter

Hi,
I have a dict var defined in server side, like PHONE_BOOK={1:'634534',
2:'264886', 3:'455346' etc..}
Then in my django template I have this loop where I need to print the
PHONE_BOOK[loop counter]:
{% for Item in MyList %}

Item.first_name | PHONE_BOOK.forloop.counter

{% endfor %}
---------------------------------
For some reason PHONE_BOOK.forloop.counter doesn't work and neither
the more direct ways like PHONE_BOOK[forloop.counter]; it seems to me
that there's a bit of an inflexibility in the django template renderin
mechanism.

Any idea how to solve that?

Thanks.
