In the fable the Owl and The GrassHopper, we see the owl at first told the GrassHopper to show respect to his elders and other people around because of how loud the grasshopper was singing. The grasshopper instead of taking in the advice of the owl and leaving or being quieter he stays and sings louder. The owl instead of arguing with the grasshopper tries to flatter him by offering the grasshopper wine. The owl tells the grasshopper "Well sir," she said, "if I must stay awake, I am going to settle right down to enjoy your singing. Now that I think of it, I have a wonderful wine here, sent me from Olympus, of which I am told Apollo drinks before he sings to the high gods. Please come up and taste this delicious drink with me. I know it will make you sing like Apollo himself." so the grasshopper goes and tried the drink himself this important part of the fable plays into another theme of the fable which is deception.
In the fable the Owl and the GrassHopper we see the grasshopper start to sing thus causing the owl to wake up from its sleep the owl tries to be nice and tell the grasshopper to be quiet but the grasshopper snaps back and answers rudely to the owl-like shown in the text "But the Grasshopper answered saucily that he had as much right to his place in the sun as the Owl had to her place in the old oak. Then he struck up a louder and still more rasping tune..." this quote represents one of the themes which is respecting other people.
In the Owl and Grasshopper, we learn a very important moral/theme. After the owl offers wine to the grasshopper, the grasshopper goes on to try the wine the owl told him about. The owl goes on to pounce on the grasshopper and eat him. This important part of the fable is where we learn the main theme of the fable which is "Flattery is not a proof of true admiration. Do not let flattery throw you off your guard against an enemy."
