There was a couple who went in for a green lifestyle, even to the extent of getting their house made out of environmentally friendly materials - in short, a grass hut. But quite a fancy one, with an attic space in the roof and all.
They also had a large collection of books, but because of the environmental benefits (less transport, no bleaching of paper pulp, etc.) they'd moved onto ebooks. So they didn't need their collection near to hand, but couldn't bear to dispose of it completely. Their solution was to pack them away in boxes in their attic.
Alas... a grass hut isn't necessarily very strong, and books are heavy. One night the attic floor gave way, burying them in their books.
The moral?
People in grass houses shouldn't stow tomes.
