As this only happens once every 7 years they plan a celebration. In her honour they build an elaborate throne of bamboo, studded with precious stones. A war breaks out with their rivals to the north. News comes that the queen will be indefinitely delayed, so they store the throne in a hut. Two years later, the queen arrives. In a grand ceremony, she approaches the throne and sits down. Unfortunately, it crunches into a large pile of dust, for you see, the damn termites had been at it. The moral? Don't stow thrones in grass houses. -- I'm a man! I'm not a horse!
