One day it
12
to The Members of the Body that they were doing all of the work while the Belly got all of the food. They believed the Belly was
13
and unproductive.
They held a meeting to discuss how
14
this seemed. After a very long meeting, The Members of the Body decided to go on strike until the Belly agreed to take its proper
15
of the work.
The unhappy body parts didn"t do anything for several days to stop

18
move anymore. Eventually the entire Body collapsed.

they bring to the team. It is also important that they clearly understand everyone else"s roles and contributions.
