What reading level is Backsheesh Or Life And Adventures in the Orient book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" I understand, " he said, " no strike donkey no more, " and we were off again.
Within two minutes he struck the animal. The promised thrashing was administered, and even that was not enough to make the boy mindful of what I wanted, and several times he in- voluntarily hurried the animal ahead. It was the force of habit, which to him was perfectly uncontrollable.
The donkey is a patient beast ; he never kicks or runs away, never takes fright, never asks for backsheesh, and he can bear a burden ...that seems out of all proportion to his size. He does not get drunk or stay away from home by circumstances which he cannot control, and he can be boarded and lodged at a very cheap rate. His food consists of beans and chopped straw, with an oc- casional bonne boiicJie of fresh cut grass, of which you see great loads coming daily into the city on the backs of camels and don- keys.
The pace of the donkey is a walk, an amble, or a gallop accord- ing to circumstances, and at whatever speed he is going he is generally as easy as a cradle.
