Grimms' Fairy Tales, Tom Thumb, sentence 93

The woodman and his wife, being awakened by the noise, peeped through a crack in the door; but when they saw a wolf was there, you may well suppose that they were sadly frightened; and the woodman ran for his axe, and gave his wife a scythe.

Who acts: noise, woodman, wolf, you · What happens: awaken, peep, see, be, suppose, frighten · To what, where: woodman, noise, cows, scythe, wife · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «Grimms' Fairy Tales» by Jacob Grimm, Tom Thumb. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (noise, woodman, wolf, you), 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.
