This is truly a heart-warming story about the bond formed between a
little girl and some construction workers. This 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 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
all the activity going on next door and started talking with the
workers.

She hung around and 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, 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 presented her with a pay envelope
containing a dollar. The little girl took this home to her mother who
said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they
take the dollar 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 check at such a young age.

The little girl proudly replied, "I worked all last week with a
construction crew building a house." "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 useless c**ts at Bunnings
ever bring us the f*cking gyprock."
