The Square of the Hippopotamus
The wives of three English country gentlemen all became pregnant at about the same time. Two of these gentlemen provided the traditional cow hide as a bedcovering, while the third gentleman sent off to Africa for a hippopotamus skin to use as a bed covering for his wife. The first two women each had a boy while the third was blessed with twin boys.
Which goes to show that: The sons of the squires of the hides is equal to the squire of the hippopotamus.
