building workers

[Menzo 0]

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 an empty plot. One day Joe, Steve and a gang of building workers

turned up to start building a house.

 

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 her, her

very own hard hat and gloves.

 

At the end of the first week they

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 w*nk*rs at

Jewsons deliver the f*ck*ng bricks.'
