A Big Indian and a Little Indian
English source:
Leonard Bernstein
A big Indian and a little Indian were walking down the street.
The little Indian was the son of the big Indian;
but the big Indian was not the father of the little Indian:
You see the riddle is, if the little Indian was the son of the big Indian,
but the big Indian was not the father of the little Indian, who was he?
I’ll give you two measures: His mother!
