A Cherokee Indian chief had 3 wives, all of whom were pregnant.
When the first squaw gave birth to a boy, the chief was elated and built them a teepee made of buffalo hide.
The second squaw also gave birth to a boy a few days later. The chief was extremely happy and built them a teepee of antelope hide.
Soon, the third squaw gave birth, but the chief kept the birth details secret. He built them a teepee of hippopotamus hide [I know there are no hippopotami in North America,but just go with it.]
He challenged the people of his tribe to guess the latest birth details, and whomever was right would win a fine prize.
Many attempted but failed to guess the details.
Finally, a young brave came forth and declared that the third squaw had had twins.
"That's correct," said the chief."How did you know?"
"Simple, " aid the brave. "The value of the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides."
