A Heartwarming Story

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 and interest in all
this building activity and spent much of the day watching the workers.

Eventually the construction crew adopted her as a kind of a 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. Such valuable lessons she was learning!

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 praised her and suggested they take it to the bank and start a savings
account.

When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked how
she got her own pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly
replied," I worked last week with the crew building the house."

"My goodness gracious," said the Teller, "and will you be working this
coming week too?"

The little girl replied, "I will if those motherf--kers at BHP ever deliver the
f--king roof sheeting!!!!!!!.."

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