CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

P opens: the boy finds the bird. Q is what "he" wanted.
T turns with "but" to his grandmother's advice, R is him putting it back, and S is "the next morning".
So the order is PQTRS.

Worth noting

PQRTS has him climb the tree before his grandmother has told him to.
