Larry- is this how the meteorology game really works?
Subject: Preparing For A Cold Winter
It was October and the Indians on a remote reservation 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 a 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 the National Weather Service 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 ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting firewood like
crazy."
