Nuts, beans, seeds and spices, sentence 1

A peanut is not even a true nut: it is a cousin of peas and beans, and after its yellow flower fades the stalk bends down and pushes the pod into the soil to grow underground.

Who acts: peanut, yellow flower, stalk · What happens: not be, be, fade, bend down, push, grow · To what, where: true nut, cousin, pod, soil

The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
