Two cowboys came upon an Indian lying on his stomach with his ear to the ground. One of the cowboys stops and says to the other, \u201cYou see that Indian?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d says the other cowboy. \u201cLook,\u201d says the first one, \u201cHe\u2019s listening to the ground.<\/p>\n
He can hear things for miles in any direction.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just then the Indian looks up. \u201cCovered wagon,\u201d he says, \u201cAbout two miles away. Have two horses, one brown, one white.<\/p>\n
Man, woman, child, furniture in wagon \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIncredible!\u201d says the cowboy to his friend. \u201cThis Indian knows how far away they are, how many horses, what color, what\u2019s in the wagon \u2014 just amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Indian looks up and says, \u201cUgh \u2026 not amazing \u2026 wagon ran \u2026 over me \u2026 30 minutes ago!\u201d<\/p>\n
It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn\u2019t tell what the weather was going to be.<\/p>\n
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, \u201cIs the coming winter going to be cold?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks like this winter is going to be quite cold, indeed!\u201d the Meteorologist at the weather service responded.<\/p>\n
So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared. One week later, he called the National Weather Service again. \u201cIs it going to be a very cold winter?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d the man at National Weather Service again replied, \u201cit\u2019s going to be a very cold winter.\u201d<\/p>\n
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. \u201cAre you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d the man replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks like it\u2019s going to be one of the coldest winters ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can you be so sure?\u201d the Chief asked. The weatherman replied, \u201cThe Indians are collecting firewood like crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
