what does "There are plenty in the same boat" mean?
"Snow!" cried the magpie in surprise, struggling against the drizzle. "That's about the size of it," said the crow, "it's winter, and this is snow."
"Excuse me," the magpie replied, "but I only left the nest in May. I don't know anything about winter."
"There are plenty in the same boat," the crow remarked, "but you'll soon find out." "Well," said the magpie, "if this is snow I guess I'll sit down for a while." She perched on
an elder and shook herself. The crow flew awkwardly away.
