Entry #174 - The Red Indians

The Red Indians ask their new chief whether the winter will be cold or mild. Since the young chief never learned the way of his ancestors, he tells them to collect firewood, then he goes off and calls the National Weather Service. "Will the winter be bad?" he asks. "Looks like it," is the answer. So the chief tells his people to gather more firewood. A week later he calls again. "Are you positive the winter will be VERY cold?" "Absolutely," is the response. The chief then tells his people to gather even MORE firewood, then calls the Weather service again: "Can you be sure?" he asks. "Im telling you, its going to be the COLDEST winter on record." "How do you know?" the chief asks. The man responds: "Because the Red Indians are gathering firewood like crazy!"
