Gus sneezed into a bowl of alphabet soup, sending letters smearing everywhere. Grandpa had to clean up the mess by finding words from the sneeze in a letter handkerchief. However, after cleaning up, Grandpa's handkerchief was ruined. He bought a new one but it kept getting mixed up with an octopus' handkerchief when washed. The document suggests designing a symbol to identify Grandpa's handkerchief.
