It was autumn, and the Indians on the reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the secrets of the ancients, and when he looked up at the sky he didn’t have a clue what the weather was going to do.
To be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the winter was going to be cold and that they should collect wood to be prepared.
After several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the Met Office and asked, "Is the coming winter going to be cold?"
"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the Meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood.
One week later he called the Met Office again. "Is it going to be a very cold winter?" he asked.
"Yes," the man at Met Office again replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter." The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find.
Two weeks later he called the Met Office again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Oh, hell yes," the man replied. "It looks like it's going to be one of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting firewood like crazy"
