This is a sentence of «Celtic Fairy Tales» by Joseph Jacobs, XI. Gold Tree and Silver Tree.. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Remarks, I, Highlands, version), 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.
