So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin. However, 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."
