The Black Sheep

A missionary is sent into the Uruwera hill country in New Zealand to
live with a Maori tribe. He spends years with them, teaching them
reading, writing, maths and science.

One day the wife of the tribe's chief gives birth to a white child.
The tribe is shocked, and the chief pulls the missionary 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 missionary 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 occasions."

The chief was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell you what. You
don't say anything more about that sheep and I won't say anything more
about that white child."
