    An anthropologist proposed a game to kids in an African tribe where the first to reach a basket of fruit would win it. However, when told to run, the kids all held hands and ran together, then sat and enjoyed the treats. When asked why they didn't run alone to get it all, the kids replied "UBUNTU," meaning that in their culture one cannot be happy if others are sad, and "I am because we are."

    An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe.

    He put a basket
    full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the
    sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran
    together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they
    had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said:
    ''UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?''
    'UBUNTU' in the Xhosa culture means: "I am because we are"
