How The Bible Came To Africa

An African friend of mine once told me a joke which went like this:

Many years ago, before the whites came to Africa, we were masters of all the land we could see. Then the whites came, and to be polite we received them. They had with them a book which they called "the Bible."

They said to us, "Close your eyes, and let us pray." To be polite, we closed our eyes while they held their prayer.

When we opened our eyes, lo and behold! We had the Bible - and they had taken the LAND!
