A Canadian settler, circa 1853, cuts wood for the winter.
An Indian passes:
– Tell me, Indian, will it be cold this winter?
– Harsh winter!
So the settler cuts more wood.
The next day, the Indian comes back:
– Tell me, Indian, will it really be cold this winter?
– VERY harsh winter!
The settler cuts wood.
A week later, the Indian comes back.
– But, will the winter really be very harsh?
– VERY VERY harsh winter.
– But how do you know?
– Old Indian proverb says: “When a white man cuts wood, winter will be harsh. »
