I don't know what happened
Answer:
He made Charlie compete with a mouse named Algernon to solve a maze.
Explanation:
On the fourth day of the experiment, Burt who was among those administering intelligence quotient tests on Charlie made him compete with a mouse named Algernon to solve a maze puzzle which is quite complicated.
Prior to this time, the mouse had already undergone the Strauss and Nemur's experimental surgeries. The mouse passed the maze test, compared to Charlie who failed at his.
He basically gives him his resume, or all the heroic things he has done in the past, such as: he has never been defeated, he has saved many people, he talks about how he lost the swimming match to his friend Brecca because he stopped to help him against sea monsters which attacked him, etc.
These boasts are here for Beowulf to show to Lord Hrothgar that he is worthy of defending his kingdom against the monster Grendel.
