Who acts: little upside down bat, Bat, Wild Thing · What happens: hang, say, play · To what, where: mouth, Host · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «Just so stories» by Rudyard Kipling, The Cat That Walked By Himself. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (little upside down bat, Bat, Wild Thing), 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.
