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