Fred Somebody, Thomas Everybody, Peter Anybody and Joe Nobody were neighbors, but they were not like you, I’m sure. They were odd people and most difficult to understand. The way they lived was a shame.
All four belonged to the same church, but you would not have enjoyed worshipping with them. Everybody went fishing on Sunday or stayed home to visit with friends. Anybody wanted to worship but was afraid Somebody wouldn’t speak to him. So guess who went to church? Yep – Nobody.
Really, Nobody was the only decent one of the lot. Nobody did parish visitations. Nobody worked on the church’s committees.
Once they needed a Sunday School teacher. Everybody thought Anybody would do it, while Anybody thought Somebody would do it. And you know who actually did apply for the position? That’s right – Nobody!
