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!"
