The tale tells of an elderly Native American man who was once asked a straightforward question about his personal life.
“What is your wife’s name?” a visitor asked.
Without hesitation, the old man answered, “Her name is Three Horse.”
The unusual name immediately caught the visitor’s attention. Curious about its meaning, he asked why she was called that. The old man sighed deeply and slowly shook his head before explaining.
“It’s an old tribal name,” he said, a weary but knowing smile crossing his face. “It means… Nag. Nag. Nag.”
