作例
The residents of a small town used to leave their garbage bags in an open collection area.
Some bags contained foods, so crows were gathering and pecking open their garbage. That made two problems. First, residents were afraind of approaching there to put their garbage bags because crows were always there.
The other was that garbage truck left some garbage scattered by crows, so the residents had to clean up the road around the collection area.
At the meeting of the residence, they discussed the problems. One resident said garbage bags should be covered with the net, and another said they need to set the cage made of steel.
They concluded that the latter idea was the best. Two weeks later, the cage had set, and the collection area had kept clean since then. Crows never appeared any more, and they were satisfied with their investment.
