Please heeelp .)) Morse code challenge: __str__ representation of Letter.instance

I spent like 30minutes on this challenge, trying to figure out what I missed and I just dont see it.. The challenges gets frustrating at this stage, this is second challenge in a row which Im not able to finish by myself :(

morse.py
class Letter:    
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __str__(self)
        output_str = []
        for item in self.pattern:
            if item == ".":
                output_str.append("dot")
            elif item == "_":
                output_str.append("dash")
        return "-".join(output_str)

class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
        pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
        super().__init__(pattern)

Very close indeed! Just one little syntax issue — there should be a colon (:) at the end of the "def" line.
