Tanglewood Tales, Circe's Palace., part 1, sentence 33

Its unaccountable behavior made him conclude, at last, that the bird knew of some danger that awaited him, and which must needs be very terrible, beyond all question, since it moved even a little fowl to feel compassion for a human being.

Who acts: unaccountable behavior, bird, danger, behavior · What happens: make, conclude, know, await, need, be · To what, where: bird, little fowl, compassion
