TELLING THE WEATHER
 
The Indians asked their Chief in autumn if the winter was going to be
cold or not. Not really having an answer, the chief replies that the
winter was going to be cold and that the members of the village were
to collect wood to be prepared.
 
Being a good leader, he then went to the next phone booth and called
the National Weather Service and asked, "Is this winter to be cold?"
 
The man on the phone responded, "This winter was going to be quite
cold indeed."
 
So the Chief went back to speed up his people to collect even more
wood 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 replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."
 
So the Chief goes back to his people and orders them to go and find
every scrap of wood they can find.
 
Two weeks later he calls the National Weather Service again: "Are you
absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
 
"Absolutely," the man replies, "the Indians are collecting wood like
crazy!"
