Work starts on a new house next door to six-year-old Jenny's house.
The little girl becomes fascinated by the activities and soon becomes a favourite of the building workers.
They give her a hard-hat of her own, and a little tool belt and she enjoys helping them out, carrying tools for them and generally making herself useful.
When Friday comes around, they all chip in to give her a pay-packet of her own, which she proudly takes home to Mum and Dad.
They tell her that since she's earned her very first wages that she should learn about responsibility for her finances and that they'll take her to the bank in the morning to open an account of her own.
Next day, they are in the bank and explain the situation, the teller is very impressed by Jenny, her sensible attitude and her hard work and says: "And will you be working on the house again next week Jenny?"
She replies: "I hope so, but to be fair, it all depends on if those cunts at the builders' merchants can get their fucking act together and ship us the right bricks."
