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, and 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 one. Nature does this on
occasion." The chief was silent for a moment, then
said "Tell you what. You don't say anything more about
the sheep and I won't say anything more about the baby."
