Heartwarming Story of a Little Girl and Some Construction Workers

Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond
formed between a little 5 year old girl and some
construction workers that makes you believe that we
CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift
of our time...

------------------------------------------------

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 took an
interest in all the activity going on next door, and
spent much of each day observing the workers.

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 couple of dollars.
The little girl took this home to her mother who said
all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested
that they take the two 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 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 with the
crew building the house next door to us."

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
mother-f***ing assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the
damn sheet rock..."

Kind of brings a tear to the eye.
