Grimms' Fairy Tales, Tom Thumb, sentence 15

When the time came the mother harnessed the horse to the cart, and put Tom into his ear; and as he sat there the little man told the beast how to go, crying out, ‘Go on!’ and ‘Stop!’ as he wanted: and thus the horse went on just as well as if the woodman had driven it himself into the wood.

Who acts: time, mother, Tom, little man, horse · What happens: come, harness, put, sit, tell, go · To what, where: horse, Tom, ear, beast, woodman, wood · 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 (time, mother, Tom, little man), 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.
