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
3 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 got me into prison in the first place!''
