Truly a heart warming 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 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've been working with a crew
building a house all week."

"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 *****es at the
lumber yard ever bring us any drywall that's worth a **** ."
