But first you must get to see him, and that will be a hard task; for the Great Wizard does not like to see anyone, and he usually has his own way.
Who acts: you, that, Great Wizard, Wizard · What happens: get, see, be, not like, have · To what, where: Kansas, hard task, anyone, own way
This is a sentence of «The Wonderful Wizard of Oz» by L. Frank Baum, Chapter X. The Guardian of the Gate. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (you, that, Great Wizard, Wizard), 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.
