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,
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 again 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... :D
