Françoise and Jack wish you a Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a wonderful new year.
ONCE UPON A TIME
This is the story about four persons named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done
and Everybody was asked to do it.
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
and Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody
when actually Anybody should have known that Everybody was to blame.
MORAL
Without wanting to reproach Everybody, it would be good for Anybody to do what he is supposed to do without hoping that Somebody would do it in his stead because experience shows that when one is waiting on Somebody, generally we simply find Nobody!

CONCLUSION
I'll forward this message to Everybody so that Anybody can send it to Somebody, forgetting Nobody...
Françoise et Jack vous souhaitent un joyeux Noël, de bonnes vacances et une excellente nouvelle année.
IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS
Il était une fois quatre individus qu'on appelait Tout le monde - Quelqu'un - Chacun - et Personne. Il y avait un important travail à faire, et on a demandé à Tout le monde de le faire.

IL ÉTAIT UNE FOIS
Il était une fois quatre individus qu'on appelait Tout le monde - Quelqu'un - Chacun - et Personne. Il y avait un important travail à faire, et on a demandé à Tout le monde de le faire.
Tout le monde était persuadé que Quelqu'un le ferait. Chacun pouvait l'avoir fait, mais en réalité Personne ne le fit. Quelqu'un se fâcha car c'était le travail de Tout le monde !
Tout le monde pensa que Chacun pouvait le faire et Personne ne doutait que Quelqu'un le ferait. En fin de compte, Tout le monde fit des reproches à Chacun parce que Personne n'avait fait ce que Quelqu'un aurait pu faire.
MORALITÉ
Sans vouloir le reprocher à Tout le monde, il serait bon que Chacun fasse ce qu'il doit sans nourrir l'espoir que Quelqu'un le fera à sa place, car l'expérience montre que là où on attend Quelqu'un, généralement on ne trouve Personne!
CONCLUSION
Je vais le transférer à Tout le monde afin que Chacun puisse l'envoyer à Quelqu'un sans oublier Personne...
