Did you notice that the word "the" appears twice? The end of first line and again on the beginning of second line.

Many people tend to read this as a continuous sentence with only one "the".
This is called continuity - the tendency to perceive sensory data in continuous patterns, even if they are actually not.
People tend to organise message in a way that makes sense to them.

AHHH....
