NATIVES

 

You are walking down a jungle trail and you come to a "fork in the road". You don't know which way to go, but you do know that one way will take you to a village of cannibals, and that the cannibals ALWAYS lie (and are very hungry). The other way will take you to a village of friendly natives that ALWAYS tell the truth, and will help you to get home.

There is no sign at the "fork in the road", but standing there, is a native from one of the villages. Unfortunately you lost your guide book days ago and have no way of telling which village he is from just by looking at him.

You may ask him one, and only ONE question. What question do you ask so that you are assured of being directed to the friendly village ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
