To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The birds become familiar with these shelters (called in Russian " shagashki ") and pay- no attention to them. The " gun " introduces him- self into the shelter not later than midnight, and there waits patiently for the first gleam of dawn. He must on no account smoke. With the first grey streak of dawn in the sky there is a great rushing of wings in the air, and dozens of male bii'ds appear from nowhere; strutting up and down, puffing out their feathers, and hissing furi- ously at each other i...n challenge. The grey hens meanwhile sit in the surrounding trees, watching, as did the ladies of old at a tournament, the prow- ess of their men-folk in the lists. The grey hens never show themselves, and make no sound; two things, one would imagine, contrary to every instinct of their sex. A challenge once accepted, two males begin fighting furiously with wings, claws, and beaks. So absorbed are the birds in their com- bat, that they neither see nor hear anything, and pay no attention to a gun-shot.
