Several years ago, Andy was sentenced to
prison. During his stay, he
got along well with the guards and all his
fellow inmates. The warden saw
that deep down, Andy was a good
person and made arrangements for Andy
to learn a trade while doing his
time. After three years, Andy was
recognized as one of the best
carpenters in the local area. Often he would
be given a weekend pass
to do odd jobs for the citizens of the
community…. and he always
reported back to prison before Sunday night was
over.
The
warden was thinking of remodeling his kitchen and in fact had done
much of the work himself. But he lacked the skills to build a set of
kitchen cupboards and a large counter top, which he had promised his
wife. So he called Andy into his office and asked him to complete the
job
for him.
But, alas, Andy refused. He told the warden,
Gosh, I’d really like to
help you but counter fitting is what go
t me into prison in the first
place.
