To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Long ages passed, and the activity of these volcanic mountains died do^vn. The last of the liquid lava standing in the wide hole which came up into the bottom of the crater, cooled very slowly and became intensely hard. Then the frost and the rain and the wind got to work, and through long ages gradually pulled down the heap of lava which formed the mountain. So it happened that the core of intensely hard rock in the middle of the mountain was at last laid bare. And such a core, splintered by t...he weather into rocky spires, to-day forms the Coolin Mountains of Skye. Is it not won- derful to think that their topmost peaks were once liquid rock in a hole pierced through the ground ? This marvellous history has gradually been learned on the spot by most careful examination of the rocks, carried out by scientific men known as geologists. It is their business to study the rocks of the earth, and to find out how they were piled up STAFF A AND THE GIANTS' CAUSEWAY 123 and how they have been pulled down.
