There was once a king of a jungle tribe that hired a local contractor to build his new grass hut. After the design/build was completed, the King stated that he forgot to mention that he had ordered a new jewel adorned throne and matching bed. The King didn't think it was going to fit now. The contractor said he would see when the products were delivered.

The throne was the first to arrive, and just barely fit into the grass hut. However when the bed was delivered, the contractor saw that, indeed, they would not fit together. So the contractor said, "I have an idea. When you want to sit in the throne, just hoist the bed to the ceiling with this pulley system I designed, and when you want to sleep, hike the throne up top."

This worked beautifully until one fateful night when the King was in bed, and the throne, which was hoisted up to the ceiling over the bed, came crashing down and killed the king while he slumbered.

The moral of this story? People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones!
