mmxgn@0: an owl accustomed to feed at night and to sleep during the day was greatly disturbed by the noise of a grasshopper and earnestly besought her to stop chirping
mmxgn@0: the grasshopper refused to desist and chirped louder and louder the more the owl entreated
mmxgn@0: when she saw that she could get no redress and that her words were despised the owl attacked the chatterer by a stratagem
mmxgn@0: since i can not sleep
mmxgn@0: she said
mmxgn@0: on account of your song which believe me is sweet as the lyre of apollo i shall indulge myself in drinking some nectar which pallas lately gave me
mmxgn@0: if you do not dislike it come to me and we will drink it together
mmxgn@0: the grasshopper who was thirsty and pleased with the praise of her voice eagerly flew up
mmxgn@0: the owl came forth from her hollow seized her and put her to death
