This is a sentence of «Grimm's Fairy Stories» by Jacob Grimm, Little One-eye, Two-eyes and Three-eyes. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (entrails, gold), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
Parsed by Mova, not checked by a teacher. This tree is Mova's own parse (the en model, on the CPU, when the site is built); it may be wrong.
