>
> The third wife gave birth a few days later, but the chief kept the details a

> hide.
> The chief then challenged the tribe to guess what had occurred.

> Many tried, unsuccessfully. Finally, one young brave declared that the third
> wife had given birth to twin boys.

> "Correct," said the chief. "How did you figure it out?"

> The warrior answered, "It's elementary. The value of the squaw of the
