Question

It is autumn, and the Indians ask their new chief (首领) what the weather is going to be like this winter. The chief looks at the sky and says it’s usually cold, and he tells the villagers to collect wood for the winter. As a good chief, he goes to call the weatherman and asks, “Is the coming winter going to be cold?”

“It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,” the weatherman answers.

So the chief goes back to his people and tells them to collect more food. A week later he calls the weatherman again.

“Is it going to be a very cold winter?”

“Yes,” the weatherman answers again. “It’s going to be a very cold winter.”

The chief again goes back to his people and tells them to collect every piece of wood they can find. Two weeks later he calls the weatherman again.

“Are you sure that the winter is going to be very cold?”

“Yes,” the weatherman answers again. “It’s going to be very very cold.”

“Why are you so sure?” asks the chief.

The weatherman answers, “Because the Indians are collecting wood like crazy!”
