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 suitable would have to come from her buttocks.
The husband and wife agreed 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."
