Here's a truly heartwarming 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 of 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 young
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 'gems-in-the-rough,' more
or less, 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 mom 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 a real
construction crew building the new house next door to us.'
'Oh 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 fuckin' sheet rock.' |
