To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dark days.
The reader may have noticed the frequent occurrence of the number eleven, and especially in the last few pages. " Like an eleven months' man" ; " Only one frying-pan for eleven houses'" ; " Eleven men have lost a cow between them" ; " Eleven men arrived at the same unfortunate state" ; " One wicked fellow for eleven men"; "One loin-cloth for eleven fathers and sons"; "Eleven grooms for a one-eyed mare" ; and " Only eleven houses in Kash- mir," &c., &o. As far as one can ascertain fro...m the liinited means of information at hand, this number is quite peculiar to the country.
Captain Temple, in his most valuable and interesting " Survey of the Incidents in Modern Indian Folktales" (one of the appendices of *' Wide-awake Stories") does not mention this number. The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,' 12, 13, 14, 18, 24, and larger numbers are quoted as occurring in several tales, but never the number eleven.
This is somewhat remarkable, and the only reasons suggested for the frequency of this number in " Happy Valley" folklore are the fol- lowing stories : — Nearly 800 years ago a faqir named Bulbul Shdh came via, Tibet to Kashmir: When he had been here a little while he succeeded in turning Eentan Shih, the son of Raki, then king of the Valley, from Hinduism to the faith of Islim, and then Eentan ShAh killed all the Hindtis except eleven families.
