The Old Indian Is Quite Modern

One day a small group of tourists came to a part of America where they could see neither villages nor people for many days. At last they met an old Indian. He knew everything about the forest, the animals living in it, the weather and many other things. He could speak English.

“Can you tell us what the weather will be like during the next few days?” one of the tourists asked him.

“Oh, yes,” he said. “Rain is coming. Then there will be snow for a day or two, but then the sun will come again and the weather will be fine. It will be very warm.”

“These old Indians didn’t go to school but they know more than we do,” said the man to his friends. Then he turned to the old Indian.

“Tell me,” he said, “how do you know all that?” The Indian answered, “I heard it on the radio.”
