**Text:** «Japanese Fairy Tales, by Yei Theodora Ozaki», Project Gutenberg book 4018 (public domain in the USA). **Annotation:** the tales treebank of Mova corpus 0.3 (`mova-tales-silver-en.conllu`), Apache-2.0 OR MIT: parsed by Mova, patched by a large language model as teacher under UD validation gates. Sentence `gutenberg:pg4018:229`.

**The tree:** Mova annot: Rust (en) → Claude Opus (medium) patches; gates UD 2.18. **The frames** are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (`prag`) when this page is built, the tale's sample read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
