This is a quick story about the bond formed between a little girl and
group of builders.
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 a vacant building plot.
One day Willie Smith and a gang of building workers turned up to start
building a house on the empty plot. 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.
At the end of the first week they even 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 c**ts at Jewson deliver the f***ing bricks"
