齐景公对晏子的说法不理解。
晏子就解释说：“土地庙是由木头捆扎而成，木头柱子抹上泥巴就是墙壁，只要里面有老鼠，麻烦就来了。用烟火熏，怕烧着了木头;用水灌，又怕冲坏了墙壁，左右为难，不可能把老鼠消灭。国君宠幸的近臣、侍从也类似土地庙的老鼠，他们对内蒙蔽国君，对外欺压百姓，不除掉他们，国家就有可能被搅乱;而除掉他们又很难，因为他们往往能得到国君给予的保护和赦免。”

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.
