This is a story about the bond formed between a little girl and a gang
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 Brunsden 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 big hairy builders (but 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 two pounds in 10p 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 w*nkers at Jewson deliver the f*ckin' bricks on time......."
