People who live in grass houses, shouldn't stow thrones. You fill in the story.

In the Hawaiian islands during the 16th century, the form of government was a monarchy. The symbol for power was a very elegantly carved and ornate throne. The King was very fearful that the throne would be stolen, so every night he placed it in the rafters in his hut and would sleep underneath it. His thinking was that anyone entering to steal the throne would wake him.

This system proved to be very effective, but over the years the rafters weakened, and one night the throne came crashing down upon the King and sadly he was killed.

Thus was born the expression "People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones."
