This is a sentence of «More English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, LXII. Scrapefoot. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I, little doubt, we, version), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
