The Pink Fairy Book, The Pink Fairy Book, part 4, sentence 46

When they were wandering in this manner through the forest the hare carelessly raised his hatchet in passing, and cut down some thick boughs that were hanging over the path, but at length, after cutting down a good big tree, which cost him many hard blows, he declared that it was too heavy for him to carry home, and he must just leave it where it was.

Who acts: ways, hare, thick boughs, good big tree, tree · What happens: wonder, raise, cut down, hang, cost, declare · To what, where: manner, hatchet, passing, thick boughs, path, good big tree

This is a sentence of «The Pink Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, The Pink Fairy Book, part 4. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (ways, hare, thick boughs, good big tree), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
