Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, XI. the Cousin, sentence 17

This stream, however, did not pass near enough to the mill, and therefore the mill-wheel was turned by a smaller stream which tumbled down the rocks on the opposite side, where it was opposed by a stone mill-dam, and obtained greater strength and speed, till it fell into a large basin, and from thence through a channel to the mill-wheel.

Who acts: stream, smaller stream, stone mill dam, wheel · What happens: not pass, turn, tumble down, oppose, obtain, fall · To what, where: channel, mill wheel, rocks, opposite side, wheel, greater strength

This is a sentence of «Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen» by H. C. Andersen, XI. the Cousin. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (stream, smaller stream, stone mill dam, wheel), 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.
