Description:

An eagle decides to build his nest upon a great oak, ignoring a mole's advice that its roots are rotten. Based on Ivan Krylov's fable.

The original fable in verse, written no later than 1814, was one of many famous fables written by the poet and can be read in Russian here. Available English translations include:
Krilof and His Fables - W.R.S. Ralston - 1871 (in prose, not rhymed)
Kriloff's Original Fables - I. Henry Harrison - 1883, p.83
