There was once a King who lived on the island of Tonga.
Every year his subjects honoured him on his birthday with a new throne. After 25 years he became tired of this and asked his people for somewhere to store these thrones.
So for the next year they built him a massive hut, constructed from bamboo and reeds.
The King was very pleased and ordered all the surplus thrones be placed there.
After 10 more years of thrones and not much storage space left, he decided to use one of the older gifts, as his piles were giving him hell.
The new throne was brought down for the king and he was pleased with it's comfort.
As his subjects carried the old throne into storage, The building collapsed! smashing all the thrones and subjects who were there.
The king and remaining subjects were heartbroken.
Which goes to show "People in grass house's, Should'nt stow thrones"
