What reading level is Every Day Life in South Africa book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Poultry, as on farms in England, are left largely to follow their own inclinations. There arc no fowl- houses, or if there is a little one, it is whitewashed once in two or three years, and as insects are always plentiful in warm places, the hens prefer roosting in the trees, where they are safe, if near the house. If there are no trees they go on whatever they can find that answers the purpose — sometimes the top of the Cape cart. Hens usually secrete their nests among the long grass, stones, ...and bushes, many eggs being undoubtedly lost ; yet they come clucking up at all seasons with fine broods of strong, healthy chickens, when they have succeeded in hiding themselves safely from all enemies, but they arc not always so fortunate. Three that we knew were sitting went on nicely till just the day before hatching, when some animal, supposed to be one of the Kaffir dogs, found the nests and destroyed all the eggs. Little chickens grow astonishingly. For the first two days they are fed on softened bread ; afterwards they seldom have anything but mealies which have been cracked with stones.
