In "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry, Papa uses a code to inform Uncle Henrik that Ellen will be coming by saying, "The weather is nice for fishing." This phrase serves as a signal that Ellen is being hidden and that it is safe for her to stay with them. The code is a crucial element of their efforts to protect Ellen from the Nazis during World War II.
