The missionary is teaching the native chief English.
As they walk through the jungle he points out various things and tells the chief its name in English.
The chief would then repeat the word.
"VINE... BUSH... TREE..."
As they penetrate the dense jungle, they pull back the vines and there in a clearing, is a man and woman making love.
The missionary is at a loss for words.
How can he explain this to the chief? Finally he turns to the native and says, "MAN ON SLED!"
The chief raises his spear and throws it at the couple.
The spear strikes the man in the side and he rolls off the woman, dead.
The missionary is shocked, "Why did you do that?" he cried.
"Man on MY sled!" said the chief.
