Answer 1

1. A Beetle once begged the Eagle to spare a Hare which had run to her for protection. ... But the Beetle buzzed about Jupiter's head, and made him rise to drive her away; and the eggs rolled from his lap. Now the Beetle told the reason for her action, and Jupiter had to acknowledge the justice of her cause.
2. The eagle said to Zeus, 'Twice my eggs have been destroyed; this time, I am leaving them here under your protection. ' When the beetle found out what the eagle had done, he stuffed himself with dung and went straight up to Zeus and flew right into his face.
