The Yellow Fairy Book, The Donkey Cabbage, part 2, sentence 79

He left his attendants in the hamlet, found the road the frog had described to him, and followed it all alone, and at last he arrived at the gate of the castle, which was even more splendid than he had expected, for it was built of crystal, and all its ornaments were of massive gold.

Who acts: child, castle, ornaments · What happens: leave, find, describe, follow, arrive, be · To what, where: attendants, hamlet, road, frog, child, last · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Yellow Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, The Donkey Cabbage, part 2. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (child, castle, ornaments), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
