ah yes Monday again is it?
Jan. 26th, 2004 01:06 pmThis is 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 that there is hope for the human race. A
young family moved into a house next door to a vacant plot. One day a
construction crew 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 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 five pounds. The little girl took this home to her
mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration and 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 teller was equally
impressed with the story and asked the little girl how she had come by
her very own pay cheque 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 bastards at B&Q
ever bring us the f*cking plasterboard."
