A married couple was in a terrible accident where the man's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband 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."
