Seems there was this tribe somewhere in the deep jungle and they loved their tribal chief very much. For his birthday every year, the tribe would always try to craft something special to present to him. As he got on in years though, it became more and more difficult to think up new gift ideas.
So one year, someone came up with the idea to add on a 2nd story to chief's grass hut. Not only would the chief have a place to store all his other gifts, but he would be distinguished as the only known tribal chief to have a 2-story house. While the chief led a hunting party off into the woods for a few days, everyone else went to work and constructed the most beautiful grass hut room addition anyone had ever seen. Upon seeing it, the chief wept, realizing he was probably the most loved tribal chief in jungle history.
And pretty soon, another year rolled around. This time the tribe, now on a roll, decided they were going to build the chief an elaborate throne upon which to sit and conduct tribal business. They worked on it for weeks and it really was beautiful.
Upon seeing his gift, the chief was visibly overcome with emotion. "This throne," he said, holding back tears, "is much too beautiful to be put inside the tribal business hut we have. I declare a month of rest from hunting while we construct a beautiful new town hall to replace that crummy shanty we have now."
And in the meantime he decided to take the new throne, which was beautifully carved and very ornate, and stow it in his upstairs storage room. Then he declared an all-day party in honor of his birthday.
The chief stumbled home after many hours of drinking and dancing and, not able to negotiate the stairs, fell asleep on the ground in the middle of his livingroom. That night, the heavy wooden throne burst through the floor of the upstairs room, fell on top of the passed-out chief and killed him dead.

And the morale of the story is.....




Are you ready?



The morale of the story is........

People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.
