Someone showing successively three different maps--first two of Earth,
third of some other planet.

"Look at this world map. And here's another world map. Ah, but here's
ANOTHER WORLD map."

This is contrived, but perhaps the most likely situation where this
might happen (which I think we're all in agreement is highly
unlikely). The speaker in this situation is deliberately playing on
the words. He had just said another world map to mean something hum
drum, now by putting different emphasis on the same phrase, he creates
contrast and emphasis that the third map is something special.
