Not synonyms! Homonyms-- homophones, more specifically. They sound the same, they don't mean the sameThe entire Fox In Socks book by Dr. Seuss.
"Red leather, yellow leather" ten times fast. "Toy boat" ten times fast.
Here's one in French: "Si mon tonton tond ton tonton" (translation: "If my uncle shaves your uncle." "Ton" and "tond" are synonyms.) Another: "Le ver vert va vers le verre vert" (translation: "The green worm goes towards the green glass." "Ver," "vert," and "vers" are synonyms, and "verre" sounds pretty much the same if you say it fast)
