The riddle
Why did the scarecrow win an award?
Try to think of a phrase connected to both winning an award and standing in a field.
The answer
Because he was outstanding in his field!
The phrase works in two ways: the scarecrow literally stands out in a field, while “outstanding in his field” also describes somebody who is excellent at what they do.
