The king of a jungle tribe lived in an enormous grass hut. He was very proud of his collection of thrones and he was constantly ordering his subjects to build him newer and bigger ones. His collection grew and grew and he was starting to run out of room for all the thrones, so he ordered his architects to construct a second story on his already huge hut.

He made sure that each new throne was bigger and contained more jewels than the previous throne and he became greedier and greedier. He started stowing the thrones on the second floor, and actually began piling them up on top of each other.

One day there was only room for ONE more throne, and against the architect's pleading not to do it, he had the last throne stowed in the last space available. The weight of the final throne was too much for a hut made of grass and the second story, filled with thrones, came crashing down, squashing the king and killing him instantly.

The moral of the story is----------PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GRASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T STOW THRONES!
