Builders !

    This is a quick story about the bond formed between a little girl and
    a group of building workers. It's allegedly true and makes you want to
    believe in the goodness of people and that there is hope for the human
    race.

    A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant building plot.

    One day Willie and a gang of building workers turned up to start
    building a house on the empty plot. The young family's 5-year-old
    daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next
    door and started talking with the workers. She hung around and
    eventually the builders, all with hearts of gold, more or less adopted
    the little girl as a sort of project mascot. They chatted with her,
    let her sit with them while they had tea 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 5 Euro in 50 cent coins. The little girl took her
    'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money she
    had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account. When
    they got to the bank the cashier was tickled pink listening to the
    little girl telling her about her 'work' on the building site and the
    fact she had a 'pay packet'. "You must have worked very hard to earn
    all this" said the bank cashier. The little girl proudly replied, "I
    worked all last week with the men building a big house."

    "My goodness gracious," said the cashier, "Will you be working on the
    house again this week, as well?" The little girl thought for a moment
    and said, "I think so. Provided those c*nts at Chadwicks deliver the
    f*cking bricks.
