A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face
was severely burned.
The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from
her body because she was too skinny, so the husband offered to
donate some of his own skin.
However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was
suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The husband and
wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came
from, and 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
woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had
before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about
her youthful beauty!
One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with
emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank
you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever
repay you."
"My darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time
I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."
