I saw this as an answer to a question, does it mean "Sometimes even a black sheep can bring good news"?

It's very odd. Where did you find it?

In a workbook for university entrance exam. And this is related to my latest threads about courtesy at home. I think Korean test makers made it up. Please tell me if you've ever heard of it.

This one is a mystery to me as well.

And to me.

It means nothing to me, makes no sense and is grammatically incorrect.

Okay, as you said, if it's a made-up one by Koreans(appearing only in test questions, they probably had to make up one due to lacking a proper answer), it should be amended like this.

=> At times, even a black sheep brings sweet fruit to home.(bring home sweet fruit)

No "to." Bring something home, not bring something to home.

And why would a weird child necessarily be the black sheep of the family?
