So if I understand correctly, then twigs and leaves could be boats? :) I guess if a boat was originally constructed of a bunch of twigs (some of which still had leaves on them), but caught on fire. One lucky leaf was knocked off and managed to survive the fire. Everything else sunk. The single remaining artifact of the boat was that one leaf. And it's still floating... Everyone looked at me perplexed when I told them all that we were looking at a boat! :)
