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 Tribe's 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 what's
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 don't say anything about the sheep, I won't say anything
about the white baby."
