　　Animals have diffrerent ways of protecting themselves against wintertime weather. Some animals grow heavy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the ground to find a warm wintertime home. Some animals spend the winter in a deep sleep because by going to sleep they avoid the time of the year when food is scarce and the temperatures are low. Their sleep is known as (hibernation).

　　One day, a hole appeared in the bridge.Both towns agreed that the hole should be mended.However, disgreement came up as to who should mend it. Each town thought that it had a better reason for the other to mend the hole. The town on the right bank said that it was at the end of the road, so the left-bank town should mend the hole.The town on the left bank, on the other hand, insisted that all the traffic came to the right-bank town, so it was in their interest to mend the bridge.
　　The quarrel went on and on, and so did the hole. The more it went on, the more the hostility between the two towns grew.
　　One day a man fell into the hole and broke his leg. People from both towns questioned him closely about whether he was walking from the right bank to the left or from the left bank to the right , in order to decide which town should be blamed for the accident. But he could not remember, since he got drunk that night.
　　Some time later, a car was crossing the bridge and broke an axle（轴）because of the hole. Neither town paid any attention to the accident, as the traveler was not going from one to the other, but was merely passing through. The angry traveler got out of the car and asked why the hole was not mended.
　　On hearing the reason, he declared, "I' ll buy this hole. Who' s the owner?"
　　Both towns at once declared that they owned the hole.
　　“ One or the other, whoever owns the hole must prove it.”
　　“How shall we prove it? asked both sides.”
　　“That's simple. Only the owner of the hole has the right to mend it.I'l buy the hole from whorever mends the bridge.”
　　People from both town rushed to do the job while whle the traveler smoked a cigar and his driver changed the axle.They mended the bridge in no time and asked for the money for the hole.
　　“What hole？”the traveler looked surprised.“I can't see any hole.I've been looking for the a hole for several years now.I' m prepared to pay a good price for it, but there's no hole here.Are you pulling my leg or what？” He got into his car and drove off.

　　Public goods are those commodities from whose enjoyment nobody can be effetively excluded.Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities , and one person' s uilization does not reduce the possibilities of anybody else's enjoying the same good.
　　Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect. A flood control dam is a public goods. Once the dam is built, all persons living in the area will benefit-irrespective of their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids to navigation. Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from the utilization of the lighthouse for navigational purposes. National defense is another example. Even a person who voted against military expenditures or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.
　　It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with public goods.There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse, and citizens for the security provided to them through national defense. Because the market does not provide the necessary signals , economie analysis has to be substituted for the impersonal judgement of the marketplace.
