I really don't remember when something affected me so deeply as this. Read
on. If you're soft hearted beware.
Touching 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 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 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 ten dollars.
The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate
words of admiration and suggested that they take the ten 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 bastards at Home Depot
ever bring us the fucking drywall!"
