HOYA! HOYA! HOYA!
It was election time and a politician decided to go out to the local reservation and try to get the native American vote.
They were all assembled in the Council Hall to hear the speech.
The politician had worked up to his finale, and the crowd was getting more and more excited. “I promise better education opportunities for Native Americans!”
The crowd went wild, shouting “Hoya! Hoya!” The politician was a bit puzzled by the native word, but was encouraged by their enthusiasm. “I promise gambling reforms to allow a Casino on the Reservation!”
“Hoya! Hoya! Cried the crowd, stomping their feet.
“I promise more social reforms and job opportunities for Native Americans!” The crowd reached a frenzied pitch shouting, “Hoya! Hoya! Hoya!”
After the speech, the Politician was touring the reservation, saw a tremendous herd of cattle. Since he was raised on a ranch, and knew a little about cattle, he asked the Chief if he could get closer to take a look at the cattle.
“Sure,” the Chief said, “but be careful not to step in the hoya.”
Politicians are always preaching some message but it may not necessarily be true.
They might get into some “hoya”. (actual meaning is “evergreen shrubs”)
There will always be people in the world preaching some kind of message. They may be politicians or celebrities from any walk of life or some TV news commentator of some false prophet.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:15-16)
