3 Teepees
An Indian warrior had three squaws and so he built a TeePee for each one. The first day he went hunting and shot an elk, he put the elk hide in the tee-pee of the first squaw and she was happy.
The next day he went hunting again and shot a deer, he put the deer hide in the tee-pee of the second squaw and she was happy.
That night there was a terrible snow storm and when he woke up in the morning he didn’t want to go hunting.
Just then a traveling salesman from the east came by and he bought a hide of a hippopotamus and put it in the tee-pee of the third squaw, now she was happy.
The next spring they all had their babies, the squaw with the elk hide had a boy, the squaw with the deer hide had a girl and the squaw with the hippopotamus hide had twins, a boy and a girl.
The Indian warrior said, “The squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the squaws of the other two hides.”
