A nice story
A young family moved into a house next door to an empty plot. One day a
construction crew turned up to start building a house there.
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 rough diamond
types, 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 £5. 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 clerk was equally impressed with the story and
asked the little girl how she had come by her very own wage packet 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 clerk, "and will
you be working on the house again this week, too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those useless c*nts at B&B ever bring us the f*cking plasterboard".
