A missionary gets sent into deepest darkest Africa and goes to with
a tribe there. He spends years with the people, teaching them to read,
write and the good Christian ways of the white man. One thing he
particularly stresses is the evils of sexual sin. Thou must not
commit adultery or fornication!!

One day, the wife of one of the Tribe's noblemen gives birth to a
white child. 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 that has ever set foot in our village. It doesn't take

a genius to work out what has been going on!"

The missionary replies: "No, no, my good man. You are mistaken. What
you have here is a natural occurence - 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 don't
say anything about the sheep, I won't say anything about the white
child."
