When a professor is sent to live with a primitive African tribe, he spends years teaching them reading, writing, math and science.
One day the tribe’s chief’s wife gives birth to a white child. This shocked the tribe , and the chief pulls the professor aside and says,
“Look here! You’re the only white man we’ve ever seen and this woman gives 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 call an albino! Look at that field over there. All of the sheep are white except for one black one. Sometimes, things like this just happen.”
Having been silent for a moment, the chief said,
“Tell you what. You don’t say anything more about that sheep and I won’t say anything more about that white child.”
