Use of make

Hello trainers, Can i build the sentence like this?

A snake helped a girl by making himself tied to a rope as the rope was too short and the girl was unable to get the water from the well.

my another question is ; Jack offered Rish an apple so that Rish let him listen the music.

Thanks

The bucket rope was too short, and the girl could not draw water from the well, as the bucket could not reach the water. A snake helped the girl by allowing her to tie the end of the rope to his head. With the length of the snake's body added to it, the rope was then long enough for the bucket to reach the water, and by holding onto the snake's tail, the girl was able to draw water from the well.

Make here means force. It does not fit. Eg.

I made myself eat the lima beans, even though I hated the taste of them.
