A dim-wit started wondering why a task carried out by two or three individuals is always mentioned as team work.

He wanted to investigate and undertook visiting other work places on one pretext or other. He became very observant on these visits and maintained a detailed account for a few months.

At the end he summarized his perception of team work like this: If a job is watched by twelve or more persons when the actual job is being carried out by two or three persons it is called “team work”.

[The narrative though set in a specific environment , could have taken place in any private / government organization. This setting helps the reader spin their own yarn :) ]
