The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 12, sentence 9

He met with more adventures than can be told, and narrowly escaped being caught by the Basking Shark, and the Spotted Shark, and the Hammerhead, and he met all the untrustworthy ruffians that loaf up and down the seas, and the heavy polite fish, and the scarlet spotted scallops that are moored in one place for hundreds of years, and grow very proud of it; but he never met Sea Cow, and he never found an island that he could fancy.

Who acts: Kotick, Basking Shark, Spotted Shark, untrustworthy ruffians, scarlet · What happens: meet, tell, escape, catch, spot, loaf up · To what, where: heavy polite fish, more adventures, untrustworthy ruffians, scallops, one place, Sea Cow · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Jungle Book» by Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book, part 12. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Kotick, Basking Shark, Spotted Shark, untrustworthy ruffians), 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.
