Winter Forecast

[GSF]

It's 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 a crapload of firewood !'
