There is a fairy tale of a hare and a bird ( AaTh 113 B). It is in Ludwig Bechstein's New German Fairy Tale Book at position 39 and comes from Antonius von Pforr's The Book of Examples of the Old Wise Men (Chapter 5: The Cat as Judge ).
content
A bird is arguing with a hare that occupied its nest in its absence. A hangover should judge. He acts very piously, then he eats both of them and moves into the apartment himself. So says the raven. But the eagle has been robbed of the royal crown and threatens it with eternal enmity. The birds fly away. The raven dies of grief. The raven king, to whom this story was told by his advisor, is also sad.
