The Green Fairy Book, Little One-eye, Little Two-eyes, and Little Three-eyes, sentence 116

‘But the wonderful tree is still with us, after all,’ they thought, ‘and although we cannot break any fruit from it, everyone will stop and look at it, and will come to us and praise it; who knows whether _we_ may not reap a harvest from it?’

Who acts: wonderful tree, sisters, we, everyone · What happens: be, think, not break, stop, look, come · To what, where: fruit, us, tree, harvest · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «The Green Fairy Book» by Andrew Lang, Little One-eye, Little Two-eyes, and Little Three-eyes. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (wonderful tree, sisters, we, everyone), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

Parsed by Mova, not checked by a teacher. This tree is Mova's own parse (the en model, on the CPU, when the site is built); it may be wrong.
