**Proof of Triangle Congruence**

Prove that triangle \( \triangle AOT \) is congruent to triangle \( \triangle ABE \) by completing the two-column proof.

**Diagram:**
The diagram shows two triangles, \( \triangle AOT \) and \( \triangle ABE \), with a shared vertex at \( A \). The other points are marked \( T, O, E, \) and \( B \).

**Given:**
- \( TO \cong BE \)
- \( \angle TOA \cong \angle ABE \)

**To Prove:**
- \( \triangle AOT \cong \triangle ABE \)

**Two-Column Proof:**
