This is a sentence of «The Jungle Book» by Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book, part 14. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Rikki, wicked little dusty gray head, head), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
