The Orange Fairy Book, Opening, part 35, sentence 109

Of course they did not dare to approach it openly, for the Stalos had the strength of giants, and besides, there were three of them; so the two Sodnos climbed into a big bushy tree which overhung a well.

Who acts: sheds, Stalos, three, two Sodnos, big bushy tree · What happens: not dare, not approach, have, be, climb, overhang · To what, where: course, strength, big bushy tree

This is a sentence of «The Orange Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, Opening, part 35. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (sheds, Stalos, three, two Sodnos), 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.
