How come ?

Once there was a young Red Indian couple who just got married.
After 6 months of marital bliss, the wife was still unable to conceive,
so the husband brought her to the Medicine Man.

The husband asked the Medicine Man: "Many moons come, Many moons go;
I come, Baby no come, How come?"

The Medicine Man told the husband to go to the Blue mountains and
meditate there for 9 months. After 9 months had passed, he came down from
the mountains, and was surprised to see that his wife had a baby.

So he brought her again to see the Medicine Man, and the husband asked him:
"Many moons come , Many moons go, I no come, Baby come, How come?"
The Medicine Man turned to the wife for an answer.
She replied: "Many moons come, Many moons go, You no come, Many men come...."
