Sharing and fairness, sentence 1

Picture two children and one last slice of cake: one fair way is "one cuts, the other chooses", because the one who cuts will try hard to make both halves the same.

Who acts: you, one fair way, other, one · What happens: picture, be, chooses, cut, try, make · To what, where: two children, one cuts, halves, cake · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Sharing and fairness» of the religion ethics 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 (you, one fair way, other, one), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

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, R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-agree ×1. 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.
