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 believe 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 6-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, gems-in the-rough all of
them,
> 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 of bitches
> at Home Depot ever bring us any drywall that's worth a shit!!!!"
