Slightly nerdy (and off-colour) tale
A chief could have more than one wife, and this guy had three. He decided they needed improved bedding, so he got them new animal hides.
Wife no. 1 got a new buffalo hide. Easy, buffalo were roaming the plains.
Wife no. 2 got bedding made from several lynx hides, stitched together (you could make a handbag out of one mountain-lion, but it's not enough for a blanket).
Wife no. 3 presented a problem. So the chief got onto Amazon, and ordered a hippopotamus hide from Africa, which was delivered by drone a few hours later (yes, Amazon had faster drones in those days).
The chief and his wives all slept in the same teepee; and in due course, all three wives became pregnant.
The first wife gave birth to a son.
The second wife also had a son.
The third wife had two sons.
The moral of that story is "The squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws on the other two hides".
