THE GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING

A MARRIED COUPLE WERE 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 HONOUR 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 CHEEKS.
