This is a quick story about the bond formed between a little girl and a
group of building workers. 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 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.

?lt;/p>

At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay

envelope containing five pounds and fifty pence. 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*nts at Jewson's deliver the f**king bricks.
