Thought to Ponder — Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

This is a story of four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job in the city to be done, and Everybody was sure that 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 Anybody could do it. But Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

(I know! This was truly a quandary).

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
