Weather Forecast
It was autumn, and the Red Indians on the remote
reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was
going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a Red Indian Chief in a modern
society, he had never been taught the old
secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn't
tell what the weather was going to be.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to
his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold
and that the members of the village should
collect wood to be prepared.
But also being a practical leader, after several days
he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called
the National Weather Service 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 in order to be prepared.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service
again. "Is it going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes," the man at National Weather Service again
replied, "It's definitely 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 National Weather
Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the
winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely," the man replied. "It's going to be one
of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The Red Indians are
collecting wood like crazy."
