This is truly a heartwarming story about the bond formed between
a little girl and some construction workers. This makes you want to
believe in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the
human race.

|
A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot. One day a
construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest
in all the activity going on next door and started talking with
the workers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
She hung around and eventually the construction crew, all of them
gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind of project
mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had
coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there
to make her feel important. At the end of the first week they
even presented her with a "pay" envelope containing a dollar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the
appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the
dollar pay she had received to the bank the next day to start a
savings account.

|
|
|
|
|
When they got to the bank the teller was equally impressed with
the story and asked the little girl how she had come by her very
own pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied,
"I worked all last week with a crew building a house."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you
be working on the house again this week, too?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The little girl replied, "I will if those useless sons-a-bitches at
the lumber yard ever bring us any drywall that's worth a sh*%!"
