One morning, the chief of a tribe dragging his wife and her white baby confronted Father Joseph, a white missionary. Angrily, the chief said, ”Hey, Fr Joseph! Me very upset. Me already have 10 children. All black. Now 11th baby born and is white! You only white man in 200 kilometers! You explain to me!”
Surprised, Fr Joseph said, “ Eeeehm…no hasty conclusions please. Nature is unfathomable!”
Then pointing to a group of white goats with one black kid amongst them, he said to the chief, “See, all goats are white. Only God knows why sometimes a black goat is borne! These are the secrets of nature. You have to accept them without understanding.”
Upon hearing this, the chief pulled Fr Joseph away from his wife and whispered, “Me understand now. Me will be quiet about white baby...and you will be quiet about black goat, okay?”
