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 an empty plot. One day
Joe, Steve and a gang of building workers turned up to start building
a house.
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, 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 ,

bricks'.

The problem with instant gratification is that it takes too bloody long...
