The Four Year Old

This is true and 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 a building plot. Some time later, the builders turned up to start on the job.

The young family's 4-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, they 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, shared their sandwiches, and also 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 rigger gloves, which thrilled her immensely.

At the end of the first week, the smiling builders 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 to the building society Saturday morning to open a savings account.

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 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,' she said, 'And will you be working on the house again next week?'

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

'I think so. Provided those wankers at Jewsons deliver the f@cking bricks.'

Cheers,
Bob
