To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All day long they amuse themselves in miniature canoes, rolling over andover in the water, regardless of crocodiles. Happy children! they haveno school and no clothes--one might, perhaps, exclaim happy parents, too! Malays are very kind and indulgent to their children and I do notthink I have seen or heard of a case of the application of the parentalhand to any part of the infant person. As soon as he is strong enough, say eight or nine years of age, the young Malay, according to the_kampong_, ...or division of the town, in which his lot has been cast, joins in his father's trade and becomes a fisherman, a trader, or aworker in brass or in iron as the case may be. The girls have an equallyfree and easy time while young, their only garments being a silver figleaf, fastened to a chain or girdle round the waist. As they grow upthey help their mothers in their household duties, or by selling theirgoods in the daily floating market; they marry young and are, as a rule, kindly treated by their husbands.
