It is a Joke

[absent friend]

A truly touching tale. (Stick with it - it's worth it)

This is a quick story about the bond formed between a little

girl and a group of building workers.

It's allegedly true and 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

building plot.

One day 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 very own 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 w*nkers at Jewsons deliver the f*cking bricks!
