Who acts: little man, you, I, man, your · What happens: say, have, be, begin, sing, shout · To what, where: frolic, mind · 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 (little man, you, I, 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.
