Re: Kids can be cuel. A beautiful story
 

This is a quick story about the bond formed between a little girl and
Here is a similar story about a young girl. 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 a vacant building.

One day Willie and a gang of building workers turned up to start building a house on the empty plot. 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 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,

"I think so. Provided those c*nts at Jewson deliver the f**king bricks.

LOL.

As for the initial story in this thread, as wonderful as it sounds, it's very similar to many TGTBT-"suburban legend" stories that get e-mailed around.

I hope its true, tho, as I'm a bitter, pessimistic, cynical, surly, sarcastic, etc...

I see you got your MAXIM also

I've heard that one.

On a similar note, I did that with my niece. She was about 4 or 5 yrs old and I was working on my sisters floor. She wanted to help so I handed her a broom. Now the broom was about 2+ ft taller than her but she was game. I showed her into a room and she'd do her best. At the end, she was sweating pretty good.

Walking back to her house I gave her some money. She asks what it was for, so I explained to her how she earned it and worked for it. All during dinner she's telling me things she could do for me, like cleaning my house if I ever need it. She was pretty adamant.
