Scottish Painter
C e r b e r u s - T h e - D o g - O f - H e l l
Jock, who was very interested in making a pound
where he could, so he often would thin down paint
to make it go a wee bit further.
As it happened, he got away with this for some
time, but eventually the Presbyterian Church
decided to do a big restoration job on the roof
of one their biggest churches. Jock put in a bid,
and because his price was so competitive, he got
the job.
And so he set to, with a right good will,
erecting the trestles and setting up the planks,
and buying the paint and, yes, I am sorry to say,
thinning it down with the turpentine.
Well, Jock was up on the scaffolding, painting
away, the job nearly done, when suddenly there
was a horrendous clap of thunder, and the sky
opened the rain poured down, washing the thin
paint from all over the church and knocking Jock
fair off the scaffold to land on the lawn, among
the gravestones, surrounded by telltale puddles
of the thinned and useless paint.
Jock was no fool. He knew this was a judgment
from the Almighty, so he got on his knees and
cried: "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?"
And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke:
"Repaint! Repaint and thin no more!"
