Grimms' Fairy Tales, King Grisly-beard, sentence 56

‘Who would have thought you would have been so silly,’ said he, ‘as to put an earthenware stall in the corner of the market, where everybody passes? but let us have no more crying; I see you are not fit for this sort of work, so I have been to the king’s palace, and asked if they did not want a kitchen-maid; and they say they will take you, and there you will have plenty to eat.’

Who acts: you, husband, everybody, us, I, threads · What happens: think, be, say, put, pass, let · To what, where: earthenware stall, corner, us, more crying, kitchen maid, you · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «Grimms' Fairy Tales» by Jacob Grimm, King Grisly-beard. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (you, husband, everybody, us), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
