Alice in Wonderland, chapter V, part 2: The mushroom, the long neck and the Pigeon, sentence 0

The mushroom is perfectly round, so Alice cannot tell which side is which; she breaks off a bit from each side and nibbles the right-hand bit, and shrinks so fast that her chin hits her foot.

Who acts: mushroom, Alice, chin · What happens: be, not tell, break off, nibble, shrink, hit · To what, where: side, bit, hand bit, foot · Speech: someone speaks here

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R7-rel-agree ×3. 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.
