Who Will Do It?

Something I read a long time ago...

***

There were four people named Everybody, Anybody, Somebody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done. 

Everybody was asked to do it. 

Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. 

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. 

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

It ended up that Everybody was angry with Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could do.
