An anthropologist was studying the manners and customs of a tribe in Africa, and being always surrounded by the children of the tribe, he decided to do something fun for them. He got a good portion of sweets from the city and placed them inside a basket decorated with ribbons and other decorations and then left the basket under a tree.
Thus, he called the children and coordinated a game, which consisted in that when he said “Go”, they had to run to the tree and the Who first grabs the basket would be the winner and would have all the sweets exclusively for himself. The children proceeded to line up, waiting for the agreed signal.
When he said “Go”, immediately all the children held hands and ran together towards the basket. They all came together and began to divide the sweets, and, sitting on the floor, they ate happily.
The anthropologist went to meet them and indignantly asked why they all had to go together, when one of them could have had the full basket.

That's when they replied: UBUNTU, UBUNTU!! How could only one of us be happy if all the rest were sad?
UBUNTU means: "I am what I am because of what we all are"
