marry him if she knew he was a bird 3 Because he was very frightened of the bird man and was probably afraid that the bird man was going to kill him He probably thought that the bird man would stop the storm if he gave the bird man what he wanted 4 perhaps her died in the storm or should have died in the storm because he s not a good father to Sedna 10 5 Yes because she has the power to keep the
