The Blue Fairy Book, Chapter V, sentence 4

I told the Emperor that my good fortune had thrown this boat in my way to carry me to some place whence I might return to my native country, and begged his orders for materials to fit it up, and leave to depart--which, after many kindly speeches, he was pleased to grant.

Who acts: I, Blefuscu · What happens: tell, throw, carry, return, beg, fit up · To what, where: Emperor, good fortune, way, me, place, orders · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Blue Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, Chapter V. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I, Blefuscu), 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.
