Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody

This is a little 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. 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 blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

If it was an important job,then it must be somebody (special) to do the job not everybody or anybody can do it.Everybodys job should be a simple job.A simple job is one that Anybody can do it.How can Somebody get angry claiming that it is Somebodys job when after all it is Everybodys job.So if it was really an important job, then Somebody must have to do it, not Everybody.So this job is just a simple job, not an important one: that is why Nobody did it.It was not seen as a challenging job by the 4 people. I might be wrong, but
I think that in this story the job is "a simple job" not "an important job" posted to the 4 people. I think they understood the important job only as a simple job:that is why Nobody did what Anybody could have done. However,this story is acceptable since a simple job can be an important job too!!!Some Busybody must come forward clear this.
