A little girl's first job.

Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little
5-year-old girl and some construction workers that will make you believe that we
all can make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time.

A young family moved into a house, next 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 observing 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 ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who
suggested that she take her ten dollars "pay" she'd received to the bank the
next day to start a savings account.

When the girl and her mom 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 a real
construction crew building the new house next door to us."

"Oh 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 a$$holes
at Home Depot ever deliver the f'n sheet rock..."

Kind of brings a tear to the eye - doesn't it?
