“There is no danger where there is light,” she said, and she thereupon came from the tree and ran in the direction that she had noted.

Who acts: danger, light · What happens: be, say, come, run, note · To what, where: tree, direction · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «Irish Fairy Tales» by James Stephens, Chapter III. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (danger, light), 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.
