    A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant site. One day a
    construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty site.

    The young family's 6 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 construction crew,(gems in the rough, all of
    them,) 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 5 euro.

    The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate
    words off admiration and suggested that they take the 5 euro 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 with the story and asked the
    little girl how she had come by her very own pay cheque at such a young age.

    The little girl proudly replied, "I've been working with a crew building a
    house all week."

    "My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working on the
    house again this week too?"

    "I will if those useless wa***rs at brooks ever bring us the
    fcuking wood", replied the little girl.
