The boat, coat, and peaceful setting draw attention toward a picture when the intended trick concerns language. It is a familiar kind of riddle: the challenge comes not from needing more knowledge, but from questioning the assumptions you brought to the first reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there is an important catch.
