Cold Winter?

The Native Americans 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 Native Americans are
collecting wood like crazy!"
