How the Indian boy got his name

An Indian boy had great respect for Grey Fox, the old Tribal Doctor, who was always busy treating injuries, curing ills, and delivering babies. He always wanted to visit him, but the Doctor was always too busy, until one day Grey Fox granted some time to visit with the boy. "What can I do for you, my Young Warrior?" asked Doctor Grey Fox. "Well," said the boy, "I've always wondered how you named all the Babies you deliver." "It's simple, said the Doctor... whenever I deliver a baby, I immediately step outside the Tepee and look around to see if any natural events are happening." "For example, last month I delivered a healthy baby boy, and when I stepped outside, I saw a Hawk racing down to catch a field mouse. I named the boy "Diving Hawk"! "Earlier this week I delivered a beautiful baby girl, and when I went outside, a young Deer was skipping around the tepees. I named the baby "Prancing Fawn"! "Does that answer your question, Humping Beagle?"
