Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond 

formed between a little 4-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 4-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 20 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 assholes at Home Depot ever deliver the fuckin' drywall..."
