This is a quick story about the bond formed between a little girl and a
group of building workers. It's allegedly true and 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 an empty plot. One day
Joe, Steve and a gang of building workers turned up to start building a
house.
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 builders, all with hearts of gold,
more or less adopted the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They
chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had tea and lunch
breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel
important.
They even gave her, her very own hard hat and gloves.
At the end of the first week they presented her with a pay envelope
containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took her 'pay' home
to her mother who suggested that they take the money she had received to
the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When they got to the bank the cashier was tickled pink listening to the
little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she
had a 'pay packet'.
"You must have worked very hard to earn all this", said the bank
cashier.
The little girl proudly replied, "I worked all last week with the men
building a big house."
"My goodness gracious," said the cashier, "Will you be working on the
house again this week, as well?" The little girl thought for a moment
and said...
"I think so. Provided those w**k**s at Jewsons deliver the fckk**g
bricks."
