Smile A heartwarming story...

This is truly a heartwarming story about the bond formed between a
little girl and some construction workers. It makes you want to
believe in the goodness of people and believe 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 6-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, gems-in
the-rough all of them, 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 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 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
paycheck at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I
worked all last week with a 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 sons of bitches at
Home Depot ever bring us any drywall that's worth a shit!"
