It became chaos, and they were uncontrollable, to the point where Julia couldn't take it any more. Julia retreated to her room, and took some time by herself in that room. When she came out, she had a new sign - she delegated jobs to every creatures in the house. Now every one was effective and kept the house in order.

She put up a new sign - seeking for help - and not too long later, someone who seemed to be qualified for plumbing job and the problem was solved.
6 Elements of Social Justice:
This story encourages compassion - and at same time, regulations. Julia opened her house to lost and wandering creatures because the house seemed big - and quiet - and realizing that not every creatures has house, so she opens her place for ones that lacks house (Respect for Others). Although, she realizes importance of regulations and delegation of roles and jobs for everyone in the house, which allows every one to realize importance of working together in order to make it effective (Awareness Raising, Social Action). This story would be great to promote the social justice by emphasizing the benefits of respecting and working well with others.
