Red Feather was sitting in front of his lodge one day when a young man drives up and comes to the door.
"Chief, I was driving by and noticed you had a lot of milkweed in your pasture. Would you mind if I went out and got some milk?"
"You don't get milk from milkweed," Red Feather replied.
"Oh yes you can, " said the young man, "I have a degree in Agriculture from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I know all about it."
"Well, help yourself," said Red Feather.
Red Feather soon saw the young man coming back to his car with two buckets full of milk.
The next day Red Feather was again sitting on his porch when the same young man drove up.
"Chief, yesterday when I was getting milk, I noticed you had some honeysuckle in the fence row. I wondered if you would mind if I got some honey?"
"You don't get honey from honeysuckle," said Red Feather.
Again, the young man explained about his degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, so Red Feather agreed to let him collect some honey.
Soon the young man came back to his car with two buckets full of honey.
The next day the same young man drove up to Red Feather's lodge.
"Chief, yesterday when I was getting the honey, I noticed you had some pussy
willow down by the creek."
Red Feather said, "Let me get my shoes and I'll go with you.....
