Who doesn’t love a good riddle? This episode’s introduction will be a riddle… so listen carefully, have an answer ready, and we’ll unveil the solution after the coffee pour. Ready? Here we go….
An elderly woman sits in her rocking chair knitting, positioned in front of a window, so that she may watch the trains passing by, the warm sun hitting her face and the cool autumn breeze blowing over her. It’s 1914 and Europe is engulfed in war. She is knitting a large blanket. She knits rhythmically, the blanket stretched out before her. As each train pauses at the station in front of her, passengers peer out their windows, and watch her work. It’s a generational scene, a woman carefully partaking in the lifelong custom passed down to her by her mother and her mother before her. One male passenger, in particular, watches her closely and takes down some notes on a pad of paper. Several seconds pass, before he frantically jumps to his feet, grabs his pad and coat and scurries off of the train… just before a group of German soldiers board and inspect the train. Seemingly the man has just avoided being discovered by enemy combatants. So… the question is, how exactly did he know that German soldiers would soon be boarding. How was he warned to get off the train?
