There is a story of a Indian fort in Oklahoma and the General in charge was worried about a cold winter, so he had his men chopping wood and stocking up.
He sent a crusty old sergeant to talk to the local Indian chief and get his opinion on the coming winter. The chief, said yes major bad winter coming. So the fort stockpiled more wood.
The sergeant was sent to talk to the chief, yes very bad winter coming! So the fort stockpiled more wood.
The general sent the sergeant back one more time and the chief sad really very bad winter coming. The sergeant finally asked how do you know it will be a bad winter? The chief pointed at the fort and said white man stocking up on much fire wood!
