<!-- .ven lang=en -->
So he led the King all over it, upstairs and downstairs, and showed him all the riches, and all the splendid chambers; only one room he did not open, containing the perilous portrait, which was so placed that one saw it directly the door was opened, and, moreover, it was so beautifully painted that one thought it breathed and moved; nothing in all the world could be more lifelike or more beautiful.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** John, one room, one, mourning, nothing · **What happens:** lead, show, not open, contain, place, see · **To what, where:** King, mourning, riches, John, perilous portrait, door · **Speech:** someone speaks here

This is a sentence of «Grimm's Fairy Stories» by Jacob Grimm, Faithful John. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (John, one room, one, mourning), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
