    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**king

    bricks.
