Work Ethics
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 a dollar. The little girl took this
home to her mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration
and suggested that they take the dollar pay she had received
to the bank the next day to start a savings account in her name.
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 innocently replied, "I will if those useless
sons-a-bitches at Lowe's ever bring us any drywall that's worth
a shit!"
