An explorer is sailing around in the pacific when his ship runs aground on a reef off a beautiful desert island. His ship goes down. And all on board except the explorer die. He floats towards the island and eventually washes into shallow water. Some natives discover him and take him to their chief.
After some excited discussion with his tribe, the chief comes over and speaks to the explorer. He tells him that the tribe is cannibals. And what’s more, that he would very much like to eat the explorer. The explorer is horrified by this news. He protests that he doesn't want to be eaten! The chief relents, and says...
"Because you plead so well you will be given a chance.
You must tell me a tale. If the tale is divined as true, then you will be given a merciful death. If the statement is divined false, then you will be roasted alive.
What did the explorer say to the cannibal chief to stop them killing him at all?
