5 Yr Olds First Job
Here's
a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little
5-year-old girl and 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 5-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, and gave
her 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 ten 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, t he teller was equally
impressed
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
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 freak'n'
sheet rock.."
Kind of brings a tear to the eye - doesn't it?
