[Big N' Blue]

>>>> A 4 year-olds first paycheck
>>>>
>>>> Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed
>>>>
>>>> between a little 4-year-old girl & some construction workers
>>>>
>>>> that will make you believe that we all can make a difference
>>>>
>>>> when we give a child the gift of our time.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>
>>>> A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot. One
>>>>
>>>> day, a construction crew turned up to start building a house
>>>>
>>>> on the empty lot. The young family's 4-year-old daughter
>>>>
>>>> naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next
>>>>
>>>> door and spent much of each day observing the workers.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>
>>>> 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, & gave her 20 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 ten dollars.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>
>>>> The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested
>>>>
>>>> that she take her 10 dollars "pay" she'd received to the bank
>>>>
>>>> the next day to start a savings account.
>>>>
>>>> When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller was
>>>>
>>>> equally impressed & 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 last week with a real
>>>> construction crew building the new house next door to us."
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>
>>>> "Oh my goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be
>>>>
>>>> working on the house again this week, too?"
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>
>>>> The little girl replied, "I will, if those assholes at Home Depot

>>>> ever deliver the (beep)' drywall.
