> Here's a truly heart warming story about the bond formed between a little
5-year-old girl and some construction workers that will make you believe
that we all can make a difference when we give a child the gift o f our time.
>
> A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot. One day, a
construction crew began to build a house on the empty lot.
>
> The family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in the
goings-on and spent much of each day observing the workers. Eventually the
construction crew, all of them more or less Gems-in-the-rough, adopted her
as a kind of project mascot.
>
> They chatted with her during 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 ten
dollars.
>
> The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested, that she take
her ten dollars 'pay'
> she'd received, to the bank the next day to start a savings account.
>
> When the girl and her mother arrived at the bank, the teller was equally
impressed a n d 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 a real
construction crew building the new house next door to us.'
>
> 'Oh my goodness gracious,' said the teller, 'and will you be working this
week, too?'
>
> The little girl replied, 'I will, if those Assholes at Home Depot ever
deliver the ****in' Sheet Rock...'
>
> Kind of brings a tear to the eye - doesn't it?
