This is a quick story about the bond formed between a little girl and a

group of building workers.

It's allegedly true and might help to confirm your belief in the goodness

of people and that there is hope for the human race.



A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day, a

gang of building workers turned up to start building on the 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.

They even gave the child her very own hard hat and gloves, which thrilled

her immensely.

At the end of the first week, the smiling builders 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 to the bank

the next day to open a savings account.

At the bank, the female 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 cashier. The

little girl proudly replied, 'Yes, I worked every day with Steve and

Wayne and Mike. We're building a big house.' 'My goodness gracious,' said

the cashier, 'And will you be working on the house again next week?'



The child thought for a moment. Then she said seriously:

'I think so. Provided those wankers at Jewson's deliver the fucking

bricks.'
