			A young Native American boy Takes a walk with his father.  He asks "Father, how did my older brother get his name? 
 
He replied "Son, on the day he was born I looked out of the lodge and there was an eagle hunting over a nearby ridge.  So, I named him Soaring Eagle." 
 
The boy then asked "Father, how did my younger sister get her name. 
 
The warrior replied "Son, on the morning your sister was born, I looked out of the lodge and saw a deer escape a mountain lion attack.  So, I named her Running Deer." 
 
Puzzled, he inquired of his son "Why do you ask me these questions, Humping Dogs?"
