Following the trail of blood drops, the Beetle somehow found the nest of the Eagle. When the Eagle went out to prey, the Beetle pushed the eggs down. After this incident, the Eagle moved her nest but the Beetle tracked the new nest and repeated the act.

Finally, the Eagle went to Zeus for the protection of her eggs. Zeus asked the Eagle to lay her eggs into his lap and promised her protection. When the Beetle comes to know of this, she throws ‘microscopic dung’ on Zeus’ lap. Zeus, in rage, rose cursing and accidently tipped off the eggs. Knowing this, the Eagle died out of grief in some days. People say that, after this, eagles don’t lay their eggs in the months when beetles fly excessively in the sky. Moreover, the moral of the poem is that if you are strong, it does not qualify you to crush others who are weak.
