The Green Fairy Book, Little One-eye, Little Two-eyes, and Little Three-eyes, sentence 9

Because I have two eyes like other people, my sisters and my mother cannot bear me; they push me out of one corner into another, and give me nothing to eat except what they leave.

Who acts: I, mother, sisters · What happens: have, not bear, push, give, eat, leave · To what, where: two eyes, me, one corner, nothing

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 (I, mother, sisters), 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.
