Once there lived a rich man in a country. He bought slaves from
the poor countries and made them work on his plantation farms.
One day he bought a black slave from the market. The slave trader
affirmed that the slave was black due to dirt and negligence by his previous
masters. He persuaded the man that the slave will regain his true color if
taken care of. So the man bought the slave thinking that his color will change
with cleaning and care.
After months of traveling across the sea, the man reached his
home country.
The next day the man restored to all means to clean the slave.
He got him thoroughly scrubbed and asked him to make multiple baths. The day
passed by in such cleaning and slave caught extreme cold. His skin however remained
ugly and dark much to the false to the claims of his of his seller.
The man realized his mistake and understood that the skin color
is gained genetically.
Moral: What's bred in the bone will stick to the flesh.
