A Christmas Surprise

There was a woman who was baking her Christmas cookies and she heard a knock at the door. She opened the door to find a man who was dressed in pretty tattered clothes, and he was obviously poor. And he wondered if the woman had any work for him to do. She asked him, “Well, can you paint?" He said, "I can paint. I'm a pretty good painter."She said, "Okay, well, here's a couple of gallons of green paint, here's a paint brush, and there's a porch out back that needs to be painted." And she said, "If you do a good job, I'll pay you what your worth." He said, "Deal! I Love it.So he took the paint brush and went out back. She forgot about it until sometime later when there was another knock at the door. It was him. He obviously had been painting because there was paint splattered all over his clothes. He said, "I’m finished. She said, "Did you do a good job?”/“Yes, ma’am. I did a good job, but I need to point something out to you, ma’am. That’s not a Porsche out back, that’s a Mercedes." That’s what you might call a “Christmas Surprise.
