Peter and Jim were partners in a profitable painting-contracting business. Unfortunately, they werent entirely honest, because they mixed their paint with water.

One day Jims conscience started to bother him as they painted a poor widows house. The next day Jim told Peter he just couldnt be dishonest anymore.

Dont quit now, Peter begged. A few more jobs and we can retire.

Jim refused to change his mind.

Peter, he said. I just cant do it. Last night an angel stood by my bed and said – Repaint, repaint… you thinner.
