But I do not want people to call me a fool, and if my head stays stuffed with straw instead of with brains, as yours is, how am I ever to know anything?”

Who acts: I, people, yours · What happens: not want, call, stuff, be, know · To what, where: people, me, anything · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Wonderful Wizard of Oz» by L. Frank Baum, Chapter III. How Dorothy Saved the Scarecrow. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (I, people, yours), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
