How will they go together?
Well, it seems that Trevor the turtle was playing tennis when a tennis ball broke through his tennis racket.
How can he fix it?
Tacos don’t work!
Tulips don’t work!

Meet the Letter T
Here’s a story about things that start with the letter T.
To make uppercase T, you do one straight line down like this, and then you start a little bit away from the top and go straight line across from it.
To make lowercase t, start like right here, go down, and a little bit above the middle, do another line.
Some words that start with the letter T are . . .
Turtle
Turkey
Tennis Racket
Okay, here’s our story!
One day Trevor the turtle was playing tennis when his tennis ball broke through his racket.
“Oh no!” he said. Then he went back home to find something to help him fix his racket.
First, he tries tacos, but that doesn’t work.
Then he tries tulips, but that doesn’t work either.
Then he tries tar, but that’s just toooo sticky!
And right when he is going to give up, there’s tapping on his door.
When he opened the door, he saw Teresa the turkey with a brand-new tennis racket just for him.
The End.
The letter T!
