The Missionary

A missionary was sent to an African tribe to teach Christianity and western culture. After about 6 months, the missionary fell in love with the chiefs' daughter. When the missionary asks the chief if he can marry his daughter, the chief says "I would not normally mind, but you would be a black sheep among a herd of white sheep, and I don't want that sort of attention toward my daughter." The missionary gazes upon the tribes' sheep and notices one black sheep among the white sheep. He says "Sir, if you let me have your daughter's hand in marriage I will not tell the rest of the tribe what you did with the sheep."
