A wild hare was running in the field and behind it more than a hundred people were chasing it.

It was not because that the hare could be divided into a hundred portions but the ownership of the hare was not decided.

It was not because that people did not want to get them, but those hares already had their owner, and the ownership had been decided. As far as the administration of a country is concerned, the key is to make laws and regulations, establish clear ownership.
