Ah, words from the mouth of babes...
Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a
little 5-year-old girl and some construction workers that makes you
believe
that we CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift of our
time...
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 spent much of each day
observin g
the workers.
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 even presented her with a pay
envelope containing a couple of dollars. The little girl took this
home to her
mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested
that they take the two dollar "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 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 last week with
the crew building the house next door t o us. "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 c o c k suckers at Home Depot
ever deliver the f u c kin' sheet rock..."
Stories like this just bring a tear to your eye.
