The Old African King

There was once a highly respected King of an African tribe. Every year since his thirtieth birthday, he had been given a brand new throne to sit in for the year. Each year, the new throne far surpassed the beauty and value of the one prior to it. The problem was, each person in this tribe lived in grass huts, so the king had no choice but to put his old thrones in his attic.

So, on his sixtieth birthday, the king had room for only one more throne in his attic. His servants took it up, and as they sat it down the ceiling came crashing down onto the king and killed him.

Moral of the story: those who live in grass houses, shouldn't stow thrones.
