Glance through the story quickly and match the paragraph with the correct sentence. Paragraph Sentence 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 A Sedna discovered that her husband was a sea bird. B The lnuit believe Sedna has power over the animals in the sea. C The bird man was so angry at Sedna's escape that he caused a sea storm.

1. Why did Sedna need to have someone to look after her? 2. Why did the bird man dress up as a human? Because her father was getting too old to look after her. Because he wanted to marry Sedna and he thought that she wouldn’t marry him if she knew he was a bird.

3. Why did Sedna's father abandon Sedna? 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. What do you think happened or should have happened to Sedna's father? Give reasons. 5. Is Sedna very powerful? Give reasons. Perhaps he died in the storm or should have died in the storm, because he was not a good father to Sedna. Yes, because she has the power to keep the sea animals away from the hunters if she is angry.
