Also Seen in a Letter

Together we welcomed a Boy Scout group who brought in rabbits and made cages for them out of bamboo, a new missionary family from Texas, and a team of eight from Korea.
Introducing the garden path sentence. The most obvious/immediate reading of the above is that the Boy Scout group made cages out of bamboo, an unsuspecting southern family, and a bunch of Asians.
Never underestimate the be-preparedness of Boy Scouts!
Ok. [deep breath]. I think I can go back to reading that letter now, and I think I’m going to change the order of who got welcomed so that the Boy Scouts and their rabbits are last.
