The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter XIII. The Rescue, sentence 20

So they set to work in one of the big yellow rooms of the castle and worked for three days and four nights, hammering and twisting and bending and soldering and polishing and pounding at the legs and body and head of the Tin Woodman, until at last he was straightened out into his old form, and his joints worked as well as ever.

Who acts: tinsmiths, joints, Woodman · What happens: set, work, hammer, twist, bend, solder · To what, where: Woodman, last

This is a sentence of «The Wonderful Wizard of Oz» by L. Frank Baum, Chapter XIII. The Rescue. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (tinsmiths, joints, Woodman), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
