What reading level is The Rat book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Matthew was mad, And Mistress Bell all tears ; but none paid heed To Robin, — who would sit beside the fire, Glower at the coal, and heark with hungry ear To those that tiptoe stole about the house And whispered. Once, on silent shoeless feet.
He crept into the little sleeping room.
And saw the pale, pale babe on mother's lap : Digitized by Google THE TWO BABES, 121 He look'd and could not speak — a scalding heat Grew in his throat — ^he stammer'd, blush' d, and stared ; But when he turn'd away... his face was white With ghastly pain more terrible than tears.
What felt he, thought hel Is it fair to guess ?
Perchance his thought was something like to this : " If wedded, I had such another child As lies before me, and the child should die For lack of such a love as I could give, Would all the gold and silver in the world Wipe from my soul that piteous baby-face ?
Would twenty thousand prayers, pray'd day and night.
Drown in the hearing of the Lord my God The cry my babe had utter'd as it died 1 " And when the little one was fall'n asleep, Drest in its Sabbath clothes of white to keep Eternities of Sabbath in the grave.
