[Platapus]

There was once a missionary preaching in a small African tribe. The people there loved him, and every day more were converted.


But one day, a white baby was born to one of the women in the tribe. The chief immediately sent for the missionary and demanded to know why he had broken the commandments he had so lovingly taught to his people.


The missionary, having been a devout Christian his entire life, asked to see the child. Upon viewing the baby, it became clear that this baby was an albino.


The missionary attempted to explain this to the chief, saying:
“Chief, this child suffers from a condition of the skin which changed its color to white. As an example, look upon your flocks of sheep. All are white, except for one which is black.”


The chief cuts him off, saying:
“Ok, I won’t tell about the baby if you don’t tell about the sheep.”
