Bad Winter........
The Pioneers had just moved to a homestead on the prairie. Not knowing how bad the winters would be, they built a huge hay stack. Pa sent his son to talk to the old Indian Chief who lived on the hill and find out what kind of winter was coming. The son went to the Chief and asked about the coming winter. The Chief gazed across the prairie and said "bad winter, many snows, much cold". The son brought this report back to Pa and Pa decided that they should put up more hay. Now they had a huge hay stack. Pa again sent his son to talk to the old Chief. This time the Chief said "very bad winter. Long time, many snows, much cold". The son returned home with this report and Pa decided to put up even more hay. Now they had the largest hay stack ever seen in those parts. Pa sent the son back to the old Chief and the Chief said "Terrible winter, worst ever. The snows will come early, it will be cold, many blizzards, bad storms, and spring will come late." The lad asked the Cheif "how do you know this". The old Chief said "White man makes really big hay stack!"
