One counterexample is enough, sentence 3
The trick to watch for is the excuse: "That one doesn't count", "Well, that dog's weird." Calling the counterexample names doesn't make it go away.
Who acts: trick, one, counterexample names, Calling, dog · What happens: watch, be, not count, call, not make, not go away · To what, where: excuse, dog · 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 ×2, R7-rel-agree ×2, R8-pos-agree ×2. 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.
