coldest winter for the red indians

It was autumn, and the Red Indians asked their New Chief if the winter was
going to be cold or mild. Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern society,
he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the
safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold
and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.

But also 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 indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more
Wood. A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. "Is it going
to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man at National Weather Service again
replied, "It's definitely going to be a very cold winter."

The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every
scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he 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 going to be one of the coldest
winters ever."

"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, "The Red
Indians are collecting wood like Crazy."
