    Truly a heart-warming story about the bond formed between a little girl and
    some construction workers.

    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 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 she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings
    account.

    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
    construction 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 replied… “I will if those useless *%^ idiots at Bunnings ever
    bring us the bloody gyprock.”[weird]
