Little Girls First Pay Check

[ozzydom]

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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 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 again this week, too?'

The little girl replied, 'I will if

those ar#seholes at Bunnings ever deliver the f%*#king Gyprock...'

Kind

of brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it.
