Orach Chayim Siman 521 is a source-text unit from the Shulchan Arukh with 3 seifim. Its reading map separates the practical rule, its conditions and the points that need comparison with the surrounding text.
What to track
Read each seif as a separate step. Identify the action, the condition that limits it and any distinction between cases before moving to the next seif.
Study lens
Look for Shabbat law and sacred time. The source text remains the primary evidence; this note offers a structured way to enter it rather than replacing close reading.

Original text
<b>דין שלשול פירות בי"ט ממקום למקום. ובו ג סעיפים:</b><br>משילין פירות דרך ארובה [פי' מן כי ישל זיתך כלומר מפילין הפירות לארץ] בי"ט ולא ישלשלם בחלונות ולא יורידם בסולמות ולא יטלטלם מגג לגג אע"פ שהן שוין:
The Law The Law of Moving Fruits from Place to Place on a Holiday, and it has 3 Simanim: 1. We can drop fruits through a trapdoor (meaning, from "when your olives will drop" (Deuteronomy 28:40), as in, when fruits fall to the ground) on a holiday. One should not drop them through windows nor lower them on a ladder nor carry them from roof to roof, even if the two are the same (height).
מותר לכסות פירות או כדי יין או לבנים מפני הדלף:
2. It is permitted to cover fruit, wine jugs, or bricks because of water leaking [through the roof].
ליתן כלי תחת הדלף כדינו בשבת כך דינו ביו"ט (ועיין לעיל סימן של"ח סעיף ח'):
3. Regarding putting a dish under dripping water, the rule on a holiday is the same as the rule on Shabbat (and see above chapter 338 paragraph 8).
