Two Dogs
The young Indian boy had spent most of his life in a quandry... He felt different
yet... couldn't figure why... he was just so depressed. He went to the Chief
for answers... He asked the chief how his brother Red Deer Running had gotten
his name...
The chief answered in his typically poetic way..."When Red Deer Running
was born, at the moment of his birth, the first thing his mother saw was a beautiful
deer running off into the forest... and so Running Deer was named. It is the
custom of our tribe to name the offspring according to the spirits in nature
visiting upon the birth."
Then, the boy said to the Chief... And how did my sister "Thundering Bird"
get her name? The chief described again, how at the moment of her birth Thundering
Bird's mother had heard a roar of thunder and looking up, saw a bird flying
in the sky...
The boy asked again, how his cousin "White Crouching Bear" had been
given such a name... And the chief, looking down once more at the boy, explaining
the traditions of their tribe.... White Bear's mother had seen a rare white
bear crouched over a stream at the moment her baby's birth. Then he asked the
boy...
"Why do you ask, Two Dogs Fucking?"
