This is a story about the bond formed between a little girl and a group of building workers. It's allegedly true and makes you believe in human nature after all.
A young family moved into a house which was adjacent to a vacant building plot. After a few weeks, a gang of workers turned up to start building a new house on the empty plot. The family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity now taking place next door and started talking to the various workers.
She was always hanging around the building site 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. They even provided her with her very own hard hat and gloves.
At the end of the first week they presented her with a 'pay packet' containing two pounds in 10p coins. The little girl took this 'pay' home to her mother who suggested that they take the money
down to the bank the very next day to open a new savings account.
When they got to the bank the cashier was tickled pink, listening to the little five year old girl telling him about her 'work' on the building site and the fact she had received her first 'pay packet'.
"You must have worked very hard to earn all this" said the bank cashier, counting out the two pounds.
The little girl proudly replied, "Yes. I worked all last week helping the men build this new house next door to where I live".
"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. Providing those W*****s at Jewson deliver the F******** bricks.”
