A professor is sent to darkest Africa
to live with a primitive tribe. He spends years with them, teaching them
reading, writing, math, and science.
One day, the wife of the tribe's chief
gives birth to a white child. The members of the tribe are shocked.
The chief pulls the professor aside and
says, "Look here! You're the only white man we've ever seen and this woman
gave birth to a white child. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what
happened!"
The professor replied, "No, Chief. You're
mistaken. What you have here is a natural occurrence, what we in the civilized
world call an albino. Look at that field over there. All of the sheep are
white except for one black sheep. Nature does this on occasion."
The chief was silent for a moment, then
reasoned, "Let's make a deal... you don't say anything more about that
sheep and I won't say anything more about that white child."
