Out in the middle of darkest Africa there was a White Missionary living with a tribe of black natives. One day the big chief comes along and calls the Missionary into his hut, where he was sharpening his big axe. He explains to the white man that his daughter has just given birth to a white baby, and that since the missionary's the only white man for thousands of miles, the missionary will be the "main course" at dinner that night. "Now just hang on a minute, give me a chance to explain, chief," says the Missionary, "you're jumping to conclusions here. Let me tell you a story. See all those white sheep out in the field and how there's one black one amongst them." The Chief thinks for a moment, "OK!" says the Chief, "You say nothing, and I say nothing." |
