Explanation:

Here’s a breakdown of each sentence:

- D: A hare is chased by an eagle and seeks refuge at a beetle’s nest, asking for help.

- B: The beetle tries to protect the hare by pleading with the eagle not to harm it.

- A: Despite the beetle's plea, the eagle knocks the beetle away and eats the hare.

- C: The beetle follows the eagle to discover the location of its nest.

Now, let's arrange these sentences to form a coherent paragraph:

- D: A hare, being pursued by an eagle, took himself for refuge to the nest of a beetle, whom he begged to save him.

- B: The beetle therefore interceded with the eagle, begging of him not to kill the poor suppliant, and pleaded with him not to kill so small an animal.

- A: But the eagle, in wrath, gave the beetle a flap of his wing, and straightaway seized upon the hare and devoured him.

- C: When the eagle flew away, the beetle flew after him, to learn where his nest was.

This seems to follow the logical flow of the story.
