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. 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, "think nothing of it. I get all the thanks
I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."
