　　An Owl, who lived in a hollow tree, was in the habit of
feeding by night and sleeping by day;  but her slumbers were greatly
disturbed by the chirping of a Grasshopper, who had taken up his abode in the branches.
She begged him repeatedly to have some consideration for her comfort, but the
Grasshopper, if anything, only chirped the louder. At last the Owl could stand
it no longer, but determined to rid herself of the pest by means of a trick.
Addressing herself to the Grasshopper, she said in her pleasantest manner, “As
I cannot sleep for your song, which, believe me, is as sweet as the notes of
Apollo's lyre, I have a mind to taste some nectar, which Minerva gave me the
other day. Won't you come in and join me?” The Grasshopper was flattered by the
praise of his song, and his mouth, too, watered at the mention of the delicious
drink, so he said he would be delighted, No sooner had he got inside the hollow
where the Owl was sitting than she pounced upon him and ate him up.
