The Missionary

A missionary is sent into deepest darkest depths of Africa to live with a

tribe. He spends years with the people, teaching them to read, write and

good Christian values. One thing he particularly stresses is the evil of

sexual sin.

Thou must not commit adultery or fornication!

One day the wife of one of the Tribes noblemen gives birth to a white baby.

The village is shocked and the chief is sent by his people to talk with the

missionary.

You have taught us of the evils of sexual sin, yet here a black woman gives

birth to a white child. You are the only white man who has ever set foot in

our village. Anyone can see whats going on here!

The missionary replies, No, no, my good man. You are mistaken. What you

have here is a natural occurrence - what is called an albino. Look to thy

yonder field. See a field of white sheep, and yet amongst them is one black

one. Nature does this on occasion.

The chief pauses for a moment then says, Tell you what, you dont say

anything about the sheep, I wont say anything about the white baby.
