Here's a truly heart-warming 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 allthe activity going on next door and
> spent much of each day observing the workers.
> Eventually the construction crew, all ofthem
> 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 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 f.........g
> sheet rock"...
