Tis forTug

When you tug on something, you pull very hard to move it.
A tug of war is when two groups of people pull on opposite ends of a length of rope. The winning team is the one that pulls it furthest in their direction. Usually there is a marker in the middle of the rope so you can tell how far the teams have come. Sometimes there is something like a pool of water or mud in the middle so the losing team falls in.

Tis forTulip

Scientific name: tulipa gesneriana
A tulip is a flower with a distinctive shape that grows from a bulb. Tulips come in a huge variety of colours and patterns, and are grown to be used as a cut flower. Tulips usually flower in spring. They should be planted in autumn. Tulips will tolerate very cold climates. You can grow new tulips from offsets, which are small plantlets that bud off from the sides of the main tulip bulb.
A tumbleweed is any plant that grows to be a ball shape, and when it is fully grown it dies, dries out, and breaks off from its roots. The dry tumbleweed is then blown along by the wind, bouncing along until it gets stuck on something like a fence. Tumbleweeds lose their seeds as they tumble along, which spreads the plant.
