This is a sentence of «English Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, Mr. Miacca. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (that, thoughtful boy), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
