Default OT - A heart-warming tale

I was sent this today, and thought it was quality )



A heart-warming tale that we can all relate too, about the bond formed
between a little girl and a group of building workers. It's allegedly true
and makes you want to believe there is hope for the human race.

A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant building.
One day Willie 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 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 gave her a hard hat and gloves.

At the end of the first week they 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 lazy wa**ers at Jewsons deliver the fu**ing bricks"
