Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between
> a little 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 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 again this week, too?"
> The little girl replied, "I will if those a**h***s at Home
> Depot ever deliver the f***in sheet rock..."
> Kind of brings a tear to the eye
