My grandpa had a poster in his entryway that had this story and a picture of a rooster on it. I'm not sure of the relevance of the rooster (maybe to appeal to farmers, which worked cuz grandpa was one?)...so anyway I've always liked it.
Once there were four individuals: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody --who amoungst themselves were given a task.
Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Of course, Nobody knew better so Nobody did it. And that got Everybody angry. As soon as Everybody met Somebody, Everybody let Somebody know that this was NO way to do things. After all, Nobody was doing the actual work, and Everybody felt Somebody should have done it. However, after a suitable pause, Nobody noted that Everybody was upset with Somebody for something Anybody could and should have done.
~This is so relevant to everyday life!~
