The Indians asked their Chief in autumn, if the
winter was going to be cold or not. Not really knowing 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!"
