Love to tell this story.
A family of missionaries went to live in this primitive village to convert the villagers to Christ. The villagers saw themselves as sociologists every bit as much as the missionaries did and they became particularly fascinated about how the wife prepared their meals.
The villagers would cram into the kitchen when food was being prepared and they soon developed their own theory and were very proud of themselves to have their theory confirmed. If, for example, the wife opened a can of beans, they could tell what it was by the photo on the can. A can of corn had a picture of corn. A box of cereal had a picture of cereal.
The tribesmen were delighted to find their theory was consistently true until one day they followed the wife into the kitchen as usual then dashed out of the home in stark terror. The wife had just opened a jar of Gerber’s baby food for their infant.
