She looks up and replies,"These aren't I's...these are ocean waves!"<BR><BR> She lifts the paper up and says,"There's a tiny sea gull flying over each wave."<BR><BR> She continues,"I was just fooling you....actually, I was lying! I'm practicing to be a spy, and this is a code I've worked out."<BR><BR> She continues,"If I'm captured with this paper, I could even tell them it's a drawing of a row of low-flying bees zooming over blades of grass!"<BR><BR> As she resumes writing, he asks,"What if you're tortured?" She looks up startled and replies,"Tortured?"<BR><BR> She looks at the sheet and concludes,"You're right! It's a row of I's!"<BR><BR>
