A Heartwarming Story.......
Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little 5-year
old girl and some construction workers that makes you believe that we CAN make
a difference when we give a child the gift of our time...
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
spent much of each day observing the workers.
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
a couple of dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who
said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take
the two 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 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 last week with the crew building the house next
door to us."
"My goodness gracious", said the teller, "and will you be
working on the house this week, too?" The little girl replied, "I
will if those assholes at lumber yard ever deliver the f***ing sheet
rock..."
Kind of brings a tear to the eye, doesn’t it?
