Once upon a time there was a powerful, rich king.

Among other things, he had a huge castle containing a massive throne made of gold.

The problem was that all his wealth came at the expense of his subjects, who were reduced to living in thatched shacks.

One day, while the king was out hunting, a poor peasant snuck into the castle and stole the gold throne. He took it home and hid it up under the roof of his shack.

When the king returned, he was furious. He went from house to house looking for his throne, and interrogating each occupant while his guards searched the house. While he was at the shack of the thief, the guards searched his house. Their activities disturbed things enough that the roof structure broke and the heavy gold throne fell on the poor peasant thief, killing him instantly.

The moral of this story is that people who live in grass houses shouldn’t stole thrones.
