This is a sentence of «Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen» by H. C. Andersen, The Races. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
