A family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot(闲置的地皮). One day, some workers came to start building a house there.
The family’s 5-year-old daughter took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day watching the workers. They talked with her, let her sit with them when they had coffee and lunch breaks. They also gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.
At the end of the first week, they even gave her an envelope(信封)with ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother. Her mother told her to take her“pay”to the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the clerk was surprised and asked the little girl what she did.
The little girl said,“I worked last week to build the new house next door to us.”
“Oh,” said the clerk, “and will you be working to build the house again this week, too?”
The little girl said, “Yes, of course.”
