A married couple got into an accident and the husband’s face was
badly burned. The doctor told him that they couldn’t graft any skin
from his body because he was too skinny. So the wife offered to
donate some of her own skin.
However, the only skin on her body that the doctor felt was suitable
would have to come from her buttocks. The husband and wife agreed
that they would tell no one about where the skin came from and they
requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a
very delicate matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the
man’s new face. He looked more handsome than he ever had before!
All his friends and relatives just went on and on about his youthful
beauty!
One day, he was alone with his wife, and he was overcome with
emotion at her sacrifice. He said, “Dear, I just want to thank you for
everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?”
“My darling,” she replied. “I get all the thanks I need every time I see
your mother kiss you on the cheek.
