Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody

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

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Even though Anybody could have done it, Nobody did it. Somebody got angry because it was Everybody’s job.

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

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

What should any Scout, who lives the Scout Oath and Law in his daily life, do in this situation?

The next time something needs to be done, however unpleasant it might be, be the Somebody that leads Everybody in completing the task that Nobody wants to do but Anybody can do with a little help from Somebody.

Everybody appreciates a little moral support from Somebody especially when Nobody wants to help Anybody.

Thanks to BoyScoutTrail for getting me started.
