Once there was a primitive tribe that lived in the jungles far from civilization that built its houses out of grass. But their chief had a throne made of gold.
The chief died and a dispute arose over who would succeed him. The dispute couldn't be resolved and eventually it split the tribe in two. Both of the new tribes claimed possession of the throne and they fought several wars over it.
One time one of the tribes was successful in capturing the throne and the chief decided that the best way to keep the throne was to hide it so the other tribe couldn't find it. He had his men put the throne on top of his house and build a false roof over it. The plan was successful. The warriors of the other tribe tried to recover it the next day and failed to find it.
But the chief's troubles with the throne weren't over. Gold is heavy and a house made of grass isn't very strong. In the middle of the night the weight of the throne made the roof collapse. The chief was sleeping directly under it and the throne landed on him and killed him.
There is an important lesson that we can learn from this incident.
People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
