The Parable of the Contractor

"John was a contractor for a construction company. To increase his personal income, he routinely cheated on materials that went into the homes he built. He was so adept at concealing his shortcuts that he joked to a close friend that even he couldn't detect them once they had been made. John's last construction project before retiring was the one he cheated on most. It was supposed to be a luxury home. Even John worried that he had gone too far this time. Imagine his shock when the company gave him this house as a gift for his years of service."
