It was Autumn, and the Indians (PC: Native Americans) on the reservation asked their new chief if it was going to be a cold winter. Raised in the ways of the modern world, the chief had no idea about the old secrets, and didn't have a clue about whether the winter would be frigid or mild.
To be on the safe side, the chief advised the tribe to collect wood and prepare for a cold winter.
As an afterthought, the chief had an idea-- he called the national weather service and asked if they were forecasting a cold winter. The meteorologist replied that indeed they thought that it would be a cold winter. The chief then advised the tribe to stock some more wood.
A couple weeks later the chief checked in again with the weather service. "Does it still look like a cold winter?" asked the chief.
"Sure does," replied the meteoroligist. "It looks like a very cold winter coming."
The chief then advised the tribe to gather up even more wood-- as much as they could.
A couple weeks later, the chief called the weather service again and asked how the winter looked at this point.
The meteoroligist replied: "We're now forecasting that it will be one of the coldest winters on record!"
"Really!," said the chief. "How can you be so sure?"
The meteorologist replied: "The Indians are collecting wood like crazy!"
