Question

One day in early September o 2011 the chief of the Native American tribe was asked by his tribal elders if the winter was going to be cold or mild．The chief asked his medicine man，but the man also had lost touch with the reading signs from the natural world around the Great Lakes．
In truth，neither of them had idea about how to predict the coming winter．However，the chief decided to take a modern approach，and rang the National Weather Service in Gaylord Michigan．
"Yes，it is going to be a cold winter，"the weatherman told the chief．Consequently，the chief went back to h is tribe and told his tribe people to collect plenty of firewood．
A fortnight later the chief called the National Weather Service and asked for an update．"Are you still forecasting a cold winter？"he asked．
"Yes，very cold，"the weatherman told him．
As a result of this brief conversation the chief went back to the tribe people to collect every bit of wood they could find．
A month later the chief called the National Weather Service once more and asked about the coming winter．"Yes，"he was told，"it s going to be one of the coldest winters ever．"
The weatherman was right!And the Native American tribe went comfortably through the terrifying winter．The chief was thankful and curious．He rang the weatherman again and asked，"How can you be so sure about it tat it was freezing winter？"
The weatherman replied，"Because the Native American tribe of the Great Lakes are collecting wood like crazy．"
