COLD WINTER

 

IT WAS ALREADY LATE FALL AND THE INDIANS ON A REMOTE
RESERVATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA ASKED THEIR NEW CHIEF IF
THE COMING WINTER WAS GOING TO BE COLD OR MILD. SINCE
HE WAS A CHIEF IN A MODERN SOCIETY HE HAD NEVER BEEN
TAUGHT THE OLD SECRETS. WHEN HE LOOKED AT THE SKY HE
COULDN'T TELL WHAT THE WINTER WAS GOING TO BE LIKE!

NEVERTHELESS, TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, HE TOLD HIS
TRIBE THAT THE WINTER WAS INDEED GOING TO BE COLD AND
THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE VILLAGE SHOULD COLLECT
FIREWOOD TO BE PREPARED.

BUT 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,"
THE METEOROLOGIST AT THE WEATHER SERVICE RESPONDED.

SO THE CHIEF WENT BACK TO HIS PEOPLE AND TOLD THEM TO
COLLECT EVEN MORE FIREWOOD IN ORDER TO BE PREPARED. A
WEEK LATER HE CALLED THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
AGAIN. "DOES IT STILL LOOK LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE A
VERY COLD WINTER?"

"YES,"THE MAN AT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE 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 FIREWOOD THEY COULD FIND.

TWO WEEKS LATER THE CHIEF 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 LOOKING MORE AND
MORE LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE COLDEST WINTERS
WE'VE EVER SEEN."

"HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE?" THE CHIEF ASKED.

THE WEATHERMAN REPLIED,
"THE INDIANS ARE COLLECTING FIREWOOD LIKE CRAZY!"
