English Fairy Tales, Nix Nought Nothing, sentence 40

When the giant saw the work done he was in a rage, and said: “I've a worse job for you to-morrow; there is a tree, seven miles high, and no branch on it, till you get to the top, and there is a nest with seven eggs in it, and you must bring down all the eggs without breaking one, or else I'll have you for my supper.”

Who acts: giant, work, tree, you, nest, I · What happens: see, do, be, say, get, bring down · To what, where: work, rage, eggs, one, you · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, Nix Nought Nothing. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (giant, work, tree, you), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
