Indian 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.'
