The Jungle Book, The Jungle Book, part 5, sentence 106

Who acts: Kaa, Baloo · What happens: show, be, see, swallow, ripple · To what, where: big swallowing muscles, side · Speech: someone speaks here

The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Kaa, Baloo), 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.
