Warden's Request
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."
