The Chinese liked eating pork so much that when someone first proposed that they build a great wall, this person said, "We should build it of pig bones."
"They're not strong enough."
"They hold up pigs. Why shouldn't they hold up a wall?"
Of course that was a good answer, so they built a great wall of bones.
The day after it was finished the wall was eaten by dogs.
"An unforeseen calamity!"
"Next time we choose a building material we must consult the opinions and manners of the animal kingdom first."
This they did, and you can still see the result today.
Moral: Always consider others.
