More English Fairy Tales, LXV. the Three Wishes, sentence 6

In my _Æsop_, i., 140-1, I have pointed out an earlier version in Phædrus where it occurs (as in the prose versions) as the fable of _Mercury and the two Women_, one of whom wishes to see her babe when it has a beard; the other, that everything she touches which she would find useful in her profession, may follow her.

Who acts: I, version, everything, Phædrus · What happens: point out, occur, wish, see, have, touch · To what, where: earlier version, prose versions, babe, beard, Phædrus · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «More English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, LXV. the Three Wishes. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I, version, everything, Phædrus), 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.
