When a missionary was sent into the deepest and darkest part
of Africa, he spent years living with the people, teaching them to read, write,
and the good Christian ways of the white man. One thing he particularly
stressed was the evils of sexual sin. Thou must not fornicate or commit
adultery.
One day, the wife of one of the Tribe's noblemen gave birth
to a white child. The village was shocked and the chief was sent by his people
to talk with the missionary. "You have taught us of the evils of sexual
sin, yet here a black woman has given birth to a white child. You are the only
white man that has ever set foot in our village. It doesn't take a genius to
figure out what has been going on."
The missionary then responded, "No, no, my good man.
You are mistaken. What you have here is a natural occurrence. What is called an
albino. Look over there to your fields. You see a field of white sheep, and yet
amongst them is one black one. Nature does this on occasion." The chief
paused for a moment then said, "Tell you what, you don't say anything
about the black sheep, and I won't say anything about the white child."
