Grimms' Fairy Tales, Iron Hans, sentence 11

It was not long before the dog fell in with some game on the way, and wanted to pursue it; but hardly had the dog run two steps when it stood before a deep pool, could go no farther, and a naked arm stretched itself out of the water, seized it, and drew it under.

Who acts: forest, dog, naked arm · What happens: not be, fall in, want, pursue, run, stand · To what, where: way, dog, two steps, deep pool, water

This is a sentence of «Grimms' Fairy Tales» by Jacob Grimm, Iron Hans. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (forest, dog, naked arm), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
