A tribal chief told a missionary about a noisy silver bird he was seeing. It flew overhead every day around noon. "Oh, not so." said that missionary. He explained that the "silver bird" was a metal 747 jet filled with hundreds of passengers. Also, that the noise was not the sound of its wings. It was the sound of a roaring jet engine.
Chief told him that if that were so, these passengers would all come see him, because he was the big chief in that area.
