This is a sentence of the lesson «The fish tank: water, gills, heaters and the right neighbours» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Fish, movement, bird, line), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
