What a child can do for nature, sentence 11

Wild animals should be watched and photographed, not taken home: a pond frog can die in a tank, and moving frogs between ponds spreads disease.

Who acts: pond frog · What happens: watch, photograph, not take, die, move, spread · To what, where: Wild animals, frogs, disease

This is a sentence of the lesson «What a child can do for nature» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (pond frog), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
