Little Girl

This is a quick story about the bond formed between a little girl and a group of building workers. It might help to confirm your belief 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, a
gang of building workers turned up to start building on the site.

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 the child her very own hard hat and gloves, which thrilled
her immensely.

At the end of the first week, the smiling builders presented her with a pay
envelope containing £2 in 10p coins. The little girl took her ‘pay’ home to
her mother who suggested that they take the money to the bank the next day
to open a savings account. At the bank, the female 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 cashier.

The little girl proudly replied, “Yes, I worked every day with Steve and
Wayne and Mike. We're building a big house.”

“My goodness gracious,” said the cashier, “And will you be working on the
house again next week?

The child thought for a moment. Then she said seriously:
