To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In order to increase the severity, the pupil, though she may be already wearied, is required to repeat her dance before every newcomer or spectator. The teacher will start the beat of the orega and take a few steps of tlie dance, and then stop and rest comfortably, the tired pupil taking the orega and continuing the dance. If pupils are sulky or shy, their teacher and other older members will scold them : " Go on ! dance ! You may not stand or rest there ! Go on ! You ! this girl with your awk-... wardness! Do you own the Njembe?" Sometimes a pupil is sulky or stubborn, or, disheartened, begins to cry. No mercy is shown her. Others, in anxiously trying to follow motions, will make absurd mistakes, and bring down on them- selves the derision of the spectators. Some pupils really like the dancing, and endeavor to learn quickly. Such as these are praised : " This one knows, and she will some day be a teacher. " It is expected that the relatives of the pupils will be pres- ent and encourage them with some little gifts.
