A touching story
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 6-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 - gems in the rough all of
them 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 a dollar. The little girl took this home to her
Mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration, and suggested that they
take the 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've been working with a crew, building a house
all week."
"My Goodness gracious", said the teller, "and will you be working on the house
again this week, too"?
"I will, if those useless cocksuckers at the lumber yard ever bring us the fucking
bricks", replied the little girl."
