Once upon a time, not far from the Amazon, there was a tribe of cannibals. Gradually they ate most of their fellow tribesmen, and in the end there were only two hundred or so of them left. They killed and ate each other. One day a missionary came to work there. But the tribe leader spoke to him in the purest English. The missionary was amazed and exclaimed:
- How! You speak excellent English, and with a distinct Oxford accent, and yet you are a cannibal?
“Yes,” he answered proudly, “I really studied at Oxford, I learned a lot from there.” True, we are still cannibals, but now I use a knife and fork. I learned this at university.
