Heartwarming story

Here is a really heartwarming story from my friend Rusty.


Subject: A heartwarming story with a twist


This is truly a heartwarming story about the bond
formed between a little girl and some construction workers. This
makes you want to believe in the goodness of people and 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 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 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 five dollars. The little girl
took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate words of
admiration and 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 teller was equally
impressed with the story 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 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
bastards at Home Depot ever bring us the fucking drywall."



I will post more on the test tomorrow.
