To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
George's hook was immediately taken by an eel eighteen inches long. At first, it looked as if George 74 ON THE OLD PLANTATION would be jerked over into the water, but he pulled manfully, and at last succeeded in bringing the eel to the top of the water and on the log. He grasped the slick, slimy thing with both hands and started toward the bank of the creek with it. But the eel slipped through his hands as fast as he could catch fresh hold on him, and in the tussle freed his mouth from the hook.... Seeing that he would lose his snake-like fish before he could reach the land, George quickly nailed it with his teeth, carried it, wriggling and twisting about his head and face, fifty feet out in the bottom, then stamped it to death in the plowed ground. George had all the fish he wanted now, and he spent the balance of the evening trying to clean his mouth. Monday at school I had fun telling the boys about George's frolic with the eel — ^about the new " tooth hold " and how it worked, and how he spent the re- mainder of the day trying to clean his teeth.
