Who acts: Nobody, prices, same coin · What happens: steal, rise, call, buy · To what, where: 15 p, p, less · Speech: someone speaks here

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.
