Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, III. the Uncle, sentence 25

In the hunting season he took him to the hills, and made him drink the warm blood of the chamois, which is said to prevent the hunter from becoming giddy; he taught him to know the time when, from the different mountains, the avalanche is likely to fall, namely, at noontide or in the evening, from the effects of the sun's rays; he made him observe the movements of the chamois when he gave a leap, so that he might fall firmly and lightly on his feet.

Who acts: Rudy, uncle, avalanche, sun · What happens: take, make, drink, say, prevent, become · To what, where: uncle, hills, warm blood, chamois, hunter, different mountains · Speech: someone speaks here
