Being a thorough leader, the Chief then called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is this winter going to be cold?"
The man on the phone responded, "This winter is going to be cold indeed."
So the Chief went back to speed up his people to collect even more firewood. Just to make sure, a week later the Chief called the National Weather Service again, "Is it going to be a very cold winter?" he asked.
"Oh, yes," the man replied. "It's going to be a very cold winter, indeed."
So the Chief goes back to his people and orders them to collect every scrap of firewood they can find. Two weeks later he calls the National Weather Service again: "Are you ABSOLUTELY sure, that the winter is going to be very, VERY cold?"
"No doubt about it," the man exclaims. "The natives are collecting firewood like crazy!"
