There was a tradesman, a painter named Jack, who was very interested in making a dollar where he could, so often he would thin down his paint to make it go a wee bit further.
As it happened, he got away with this for some time.
Eventually, the local church decided to do a big restoration project. Jack put in a painting bid, and because his price was so competitive, he got the job.
He started, erecting the trestles, putting up the planks, buying the paint and thinning it down with turpentine.
Jack was up on the scaffolding, painting away, and the job was nearly done. Then suddenly, there was a horrendous clap of thunder. The sky opened up, and the rain poured down, washing the thin paint from all over the church.
Jack was knocked off the scaffold, and landed on the lawn. Jack was no fool, and he was sure the Almighty was judging his work. He immediately fell down onto his knees, and cried, "Oh, Lord, please Forgive me! What do You want me to do to atone for what I've done?"
From the thunder, a mighty Voice spoke, "Repaint, Repaint, And Thin no more!"
