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.
As their decision was personal and of a delicate nature, 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 the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the man's new face. He looked more handsome than he ever had before! Friends and relatives went on and on about his youthful beauty.
The man was overcome with emotion at his wife's sacrifice. Alone with her one evening, he said, 'Sweetheart, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?'
'Darling,' she replied, 'I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.'
